Dolphins Scheduled To Work Out LB Reuben Foster

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the Dolphins are scheduled to work out former 49ers first-round LB Reuben Foster this Wednesday. 

Foster most recently played for the Pittsburgh Maulers of the USFL after working his way back from a serious knee injury. 

 

Foster worked out for the Dolphins and Seahawks last year but never signed a contract. 

Foster, 29, is a former first-round pick of the 49ers back in 2017. The 49ers waived him in 2018 due to a domestic violence charge that was later withdrawn and he was claimed off of waivers by Washington. 

Washington declined to pick up his fifth-year option and ultimately placed him on injured reserve after he suffered a severe knee injury in the spring of 2019.

Foster was entering the final year of his four-year, $9.03 million rookie contract and set to make a base salary of $1.7 million for the 2020 season when Washington placed him on IR again. They later cut him with a settlement. 

In 2018, Foster appeared in six games for the 49ers and recorded 29 tackles and a pass defense.
