The San Francisco 49ers learned on Tuesday that linebacker Reuben Foster has been suspended for the first two games of the 2018 season. The suspension is due to a marijuana possession arrest and illegal possession of a weapon. Based on Foster’s statement following the suspension announcement, it’s safe to say he will not appeal.
The question now is what the means for the 49ers linebacker depth chart. Last weekend, I broke down the position’s bubble watch referencing the fact that it awaited word of Foster’s suspension. Well, now we have an answer.
