Foster, claimed on waivers after the 49ers cut him during the 2018 season, tore an ACL in May 2019. Foster is now recuperated and cleared and good to opt for 2020.
The 49ers ultimately cut Foster loose after several off-field events. In Washington, everybody currently appears to be operating on a zero-tolerance policy as the franchise undergoes a dramatic culture modification. If Foster can do what coach Ron Rivera expects, Foster might end up being a significant piece of the puzzle for a Washington group with a work-in-progress offense however rather potentially a suffocating defense.
If healthy, he has the possible to improve a sneakily stout defense, specifically with the arrival of Chase Young with the 2nd general choice this year. Indeed, the 49er boasted after getting Foster near the bottom of round one 3 years ago that, if the Bears had taken defensive lineman Solomon Thomas after a two-for-three flip-flop at the top of the first round that year, they would have taken Foster then and there.
The franchise might get another significant increase if/when quarterback Alex Smith follows Foster in moving from the PUP list to the active roster.
The Washington Football Team has formally added another Washington Football Player to the group preparing for Week One: Former first-round linebacker Reuben Foster has actually been activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list.
