Friday, the Washington Redskins and linebacker Reuben Foster found out the NFL won’t suspend him, but fine him two game checks.
The decision stems from a lengthy investigation process by the NFL, which determined he didn’t violate the NFL’s Personal Conduct Policy in connection with an off-field incident.
Foster pushed out a statement via the Redskins:
“I am grateful to the Washington Redskins and the NFL for giving me this second chance. I appreciate the support I have received from the league, my team, and my union to help me succeed. I want to thank Commissioner Goodell for the time that he has spent with me and for his understanding of me as a person. I accept the NFL’s decision and want to say that I am truly sorry for my past actions and the people who may have been hurt by them. Going forward, I will follow the plan outlined for me and work hard to earn back the trust of my teammates, the NFL, NFL fans, and the community. I know that my success is all up to me, and I am committed to not letting you down.”
Foster was advised by the league any future missteps would face potentially significant discipline. He’s responding via the above and not appealing the fine.
