San Francisco 49ers linebacker Reuben Foster has been suspended by the NFL for the first two games of the 2018 regular season for violating the league's Personal Conduct Policy and its Policy and Program on Substances of Abuse.
The former Alabama All-American will be able to participate in the 49ers' training camp and preseason games, but he will miss San Francisco's regular-season contests against the Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions. Foster will be eligible to return to practice on Sept. 17 after sitting out two weeks.
"I accept the league's decision and am sorry that my mistakes have hurt my team," Foster said in a statement.
