Wednesday afternoon saw domestic violence and criminal threats charges dropped against San Francisco 49ers linebacker Reuben Foster. Additionally, the illegal weapon possession charge was dropped from a felony to a misdemeanor.
Foster returns to court on June 6th for the gun charge, and has a June 20th court date in Alabama for his marijuana possession charge. He also faces a potential suspension based on those remaining charges. The NFL has repeatedly said they will continue monitoring developments. Given that both charges are misdemeanors, they will likely be sorted out fairly quickly, with plea deals the most likely result.
