ACL Tear Is Season-Ending For Rueben Foster

It has been confirmed that the leg injury Redskins linebacker Reuben Foster suffered during the team’s first organized team activity session is a season-ending anterior cruciate ligament tear in his left knee.

It’s reported by Redskins coach Jay Gruden that the injury occurred during a session he called a “jog-through.”

“I don’t know how to process it. We’ve had some bad luck over here for the last couple years, but this one here takes the cake because this was a non-contact drill and there was no contact involved in it. He just landed funny. But we have to move on. We have to get guys ready to play that are here. We’ve got to do the best we can to get Reuben healthy again and move on,” Gruden said.

The Redskins love Foster’s speed and athleticism and anticipated starting Foster as one of the two middle linebackers but unfortunately he will be sitting out this season. The team still has veteran Mason Foster and Reuben’s Alabama teammate Shaun Dion Hamilton.
