Reuben Foster Fined, Not Suspended for Domestic Violence Arrest; Off Exempt List

The NFL announced Washington linebacker Reuben Foster was fined two game checks Friday following an investigation into his Nov. 24 arrest on a charge of first-degree misdemeanor domestic violence.

Foster has also been removed from the league's Commissioner Exempt List as part of Friday's ruling.

While the San Francisco 49ers announced they released him in the aftermath of the arrest, John Keim of ESPN.com reported Washington claimed him off waivers a mere three days after he was arrested. Keim noted Foster was placed on the exempt list while the league investigated, which prevented him from attending games or practicing with the team.
