Some get it and others never will. Two days after releasing RB Derrius Guice following his arrest on domestic violence charges, the Washington Football Team felt it was the opportune moment to active LB Reuben Foster from the PUP list.
That is the same player who was claimed off waivers by Washington in November 2018 after being waived by the San Francisco 49ers because of an arrest for misdemeanor domestic violence.
A previous arrest in 2018 for domestic violence charges against the same woman resulted in the judge dropping the charges.
Foster landed on the Commissioner’s Exempt List after the November arrest. The decision to pick up the former Alabama star created quite the controversy.
Foster has yet to see game-action with Washington because he tore the lateral collateral ligament and anterior crucial ligament in his left knee on the first day of organized team activity work in May 2019. He also suffered nerve damage in his foot, which lengthened his recovery period.
The 49ers selected Foster in the first round (31st overall) of the 2017 NFL Draft. He was the third inside linebacker, behind Haason Reddick and Jarrad Davis, and the fifth linebacker selected in 2017.
In addition to the ugly Guice arrest, the Washington Football team also recently was the subject of a Washington Post investigation that revealed alleged widespread sexual harassment in its front office.
