John Lynch: Our doctors never flinched on Reuben Foster shoulder evaluation

There has been a lot of talk over the past three months about the status of Reuben Foster’s shoulder. He tore his rotator cuff and had surgery before the 2017 NFL Combine, and reports leading up to the draft suggesting he would need a second surgery. We’ve heard more reports since, and that has led to some confusion and angst.

On Thursday, San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan was on KNBR, and was asked about Foster’s shoulder. He said the 49ers doctors do a great job and felt good about Foster’s shoulder leading up to the draft.
