Report: Reuben Foster is recovering from nerve damage after injury

Reuben Foster is on his way back for the Redskins.

Washington Redskins linebacker Reuben Foster is on his way back from a serious injury and just passed a significant milestone in his recovery.

According to NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport, Foster had an underreported issue stemming from his torn ACL, LCL and MCL in that he didn’t have feeling in his toes.

That’s changing, per agent Malki Kawa.

“He’s got feeling in his toes, the underside of his foot, the side of his foot,” Kawa said. “The nerve is starting to fire again.”

The extent of Foster’s injury and the current recovery timetable makes it seem like he might be nothing more than a bonus for the Redskins this offseason if he can get back on the field over the summer.

Either way, this seems like a big milestone that moves Foster one small step closer to getting back to being the player he used to be.
