Washington Redskins linebacker Reuben Foster left the field on a cart after suffering an injury during his first practice session with the team Monday.
According to observers on the scene such as ESPN’s John Keim, Foster was visibly upset after suffering an apparent left leg injury and couldn’t leave the field under his own power.
