NFL Note - San Francisco 49ers Foster, Reuben

Jul 28, 2017 - 6:00 AM LB Reuben Foster is ready to take the field for the 49ers in training camp after being medically cleared, coach Kyle Shanahan said Thursday.

"We're excited to get him out there," Shanahan said of Foster, who had shoulder concerns raised by multiple teams before the 2017 NFL Draft. San Francisco moved back into the first round to selected the 23-year-old Foster with the 31st overall selection in April's draft. The 49ers dealt their second-round pick (No. 34 overall) and a fourth-rounder acquired from the Chicago Bears earlier in the night (No. 111 overall) to the Seattle Seahawks for pick No. 31. Foster fell in the draft after reports surfaced that his medical recheck revealed concerns about his right shoulder. He underwent surgery for a rotator cuff problem in February. Listed at 6 feet, 229 pounds, Foster was considered the best inside linebacker in the draft. He was ranked No. 10 overall by NFLDraftscout.com and among the top 10 by many. But questions arose after he was sent home from the Indianapolis Combine for causing a commotion during his medical exam. He technically flunked his drug test because the urine sample was diluted by too much water.
