Foster Officially On IR, LB Jon Bostic Joins The Washington Redskins.

In lieu of Reuben Foster’s torn ACL in practice on Monday, veteran linebacker Jon Bostic has been signed by the Washington Redskins.

Sources say doctors fear that more damage than an ACL tear has occurred but will not know for sure until Foster has surgery. As a result, he was officially placed on injured reserve on Wednesday.

As for Foster’s replacement, Bostic comes to Washington as his sixth franchise. His first three seasons were spent with Chicago then he was traded to New England in 2015. After one starting game and appearing in 11 total, he was traded to Detroit in 2016 where he suffered a foot injury during practice and was placed on IR.

In the last two years, he has accumulated 28 starts. 14 from Indianapolis and 14 with Pittsburgh last season.

Reuben’s injury is unfortunate but we will see what Bostic brings to Washington this season, alongside veteran Mason Foster, second year Shaun Dion Hamilton, and rookie fifth round pick Cole Holcomb.
