The San Francisco 49ers have some decisions to make with regard to linebacker Reuben Foster, and Thursday’s charges might have caught them off guard. NFL Network reporter/analyst Steve Wyche said people within the organization were preparing for the possibility of a suspension, but, “[t]hey did not know it was as severe as the charges that were levied yesterday.” (via 49ers Webzone)
The Santa Clara judge granted Foster a continuance to April 30th, with Foster’s attorney saying a lot of this was new information. Foster could enter a plea then, but the Santa Clara DA acknowledged there could be additional continuances as this develops.
