Reuben Foster carted off field at OTAs, Redskins fear torn ACL
Washington Redskins linebacker Reuben Foster was carted off the field Monday during OTAs after suffering a leg injury.
Video of Reuben Foster right after he went down during a drill. I heard him scream before I saw him go down. That is HC Jay Gruden, D coordinator Greg Manusky and President Bruce Allen. Foster immediately grabbed his left knee. #Redskins @NBC4Sports @nbcwashington pic.twitter.com/Qvt6wuBFyY

The injury is now being described as “major and significant,†per Ian Rapoport of NFL Media.

Rapoport shared Monday evening that Foster “is believed to have suffered a torn ACL, plus additional damage.†As well as that, Foster is “seeing specialists to determine the full extent.â€
It sounds like Reuben Foster will miss at least the 2019 season, if not more time depending on the severity of the other damage that Rapoport reported.
Last season, Reuben Foster — originally the 31st pick of the 2017 NFL Draft — was released by the San Francisco 49ers following an accusation of domestic battery involving his girlfriend.
