The San Francisco 49ers released Reuben Foster due to his third arrest in 11 months and he was claimed off waivers Monday by Washington. Turns out, no other team made a claim on the linebacker, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
At first, Schefter misspoke saying the Cleveland Browns had been the ones to claim Foster, but later updated the information to Washington, which means Cleveland would have made no claim based on their order on the waiver wire.
Shortly after the claim was made, the NFL placed Foster on the Commissioner’s Exempt List keeps him from playing or practicing any time soon while the league investigates the latest domestic violence dispute.
