Remember back when the most controversial thing with the Washington Football Team was the fact that they signed former San Francisco 49ers linebacker Reuben Foster?
It may be easy to forget that Foster is actually on the team in Washington, simply because he has yet to play for the team ever since an injury ended his season before it started in 2019, with significant damage to his knee that resulted with him at one point losing some feeling in his leg.
Now that he has had some time to rehab though, it appears as if a return to the field might be in the future for Foster, which was not always a guarantee. A recent video of him working shows that the former first-round pick has gotten some agility back in his legs, and a comeback might be on the horizon.

Of course, the only thing going on in that video is a few quick shuffles and accelerations, but it’s more than we’ve seen Foster do in over a year, and anyone who has come back from a significant knee injury knows that this is a process.
Earlier in the offseason there was a feeling that Foster might not be around for the 2020 season, or with the team going forward. No answers have been made regarding either of those two questions, but it’s starting to feel like he could be a part of the future in Washington after all.
