Former Alabama Crimson Tide LB, Reuben Foster, hasn’t played professional football since suffering a torn ACL and LCL in a workout with the Washington Commanders back in May of 2019.
After over three and a half years away, Foster returns to football. He will be signing with the Pittsburgh Maulers of the USFL. This will be the second season of the UFSL and the league is only going to get bigger each year.
Foster has had some issues staying on the field since college, but he is still a former unanimous All-American and Butkus Award winner. If things go well for Foster in the USFL it will be fun to see if he can ever get back to the NFL because he is still only 28 years old.
Comeback: Former first-round LB Reuben Foster, attempting to return to the NFL field after a serious knee injury, will sign with the USFL's Pittsburgh Maulers, source said. His opportunity this Spring to show NFL teams he's ready to play.
