The San Francisco 49ers have yet to get a “full” game out of rookie linebacker Reuben Foster, but on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, we saw some of the extent of his potential. Foster left the game for two snaps when he tweaked his ankle, but otherwise he was a full participant for the first time in 2017. And he most definitely showed what he can bring to the table.
Foster finished the game with 14 total tackles (13 solo) per official NFL stats, and five “stops” per Pro Football Focus. PFF gave him their “game ball” for 49ers-Cardinals as he was in a 60 minute competition against future Hall of Famer Adrian Peterson in the run game.
