Niners rookie inside linebacker Reuben Foster said Friday that reports he might require a second shoulder surgery “are not accurate at all” and his rehabilitation is on schedule after he underwent a procedure to repair his rotator cuff before the combine in February.
“I’m making good progress,” Foster said. “I’ll be limited in OTAs. In training camp I’ll be a full go. If it’s my decision, I think I can go now.”
Foster’s medical file partly explains why he slipped to the No. 31 pick in the first round of the NFL draft Thursday. However, off-the-field issues were also a factor.
