The San Francisco 49ers are releasing the linebacker Reuben Foster on the heels of his latest off-field incident, the team announced Sunday, ending his tumultuous two-season tenure.
Foster, 24, was arrested late Saturday at the 49ers’ team hotel on a charge of misdemeanor domestic violence, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s office in Florida. At a bail hearing Sunday morning, his bond was set at $2,000, and he was instructed to avoid any contact with his accuser.
The 49ers were in Florida for a Sunday afternoon game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
