ASHBURN, Virginia -- Washington Redskins executive Doug Williams apologized for comments he made regarding linebacker Reuben Foster that were criticized for being insensitive.
The Redskins claimed Foster off waivers Tuesday, three days after he was arrested for domestic violence in Tampa. The San Francisco 49ers released him Sunday. Foster had similar charges dropped earlier this year.
Williams did not read from a prepared text and did not answer any questions after his 80-second statement. He had caught heat both inside and outside the organization, sources told ESPN, after comments he made to The Team 980 during his weekly interview with the team's broadcast partner.
