49ers Kyle Shanahan on Reuben Foster arrests: ‘He has put us in a tough situation’

INDIANAPOLIS — Kyle Shanahan got his chance to address Reuben Foster’s ongoing legal matter while sitting down with local media at the 2018 NFL Combine Thursday.

This was the first time the 49ers head coach has addressed the 2017 first-round pick’s offseason arrests, including an incident Feb. 11 in which the linebacker was accused of domestic violence, making threats and possession of an assault weapon. Shanahan and general manager John Lynch met with Foster shortly after the incident.

“Just talking to him about how these things happen, why you get in these situations and just the responsibility that everything has,” Shanahan said of the crux of the discussion.
