49ers LB Reuben Foster suspended two games by NFL

The San Francisco 49ers will start the 2018 season without linebacker Rueben Foster.

Foster has been fined and suspended without pay for the first two games of the regular season for violating the NFL's Conduct and Substances of Abuse polices, the league announced Tuesday afternoon.

The violations stem from a weapons offense and a misdemeanor drug offense, both of which were resolved during the offseason.

Foster pleaded no contest to the weapon charge, while the drug charge was dismissed after Foster completed a diversion program.

"Our organization understands and supports the League's decision," general manager John Lynch said in a statement released by the team. "Although we are disappointed that Reuben will not be with our team for the first two games of the season, we will continue to work with him on making better decisions and eliminating unnecessary distractions. We are encouraged to see Reuben take responsibility for his mistakes, and hopeful that he has learned from them as well."

For his part, Foster held himself accountable for the suspension.

"I accept the League's decision and am sorry that my mistakes have hurt my team," Foster said in a statement released by the team. "I have a responsibility to the 49ers, our fans and our community, and I am committed to learning from this situation and making better choices in the future. The support I have received over the last five months has been humbling, and I do not take it for granted."

Foster will miss the games against the Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions, and he is eligible to return to the active roster on Sept. 17.

He remains eligible to participate in training camp and preseason games before serving the two-game suspension.

Hope they get off to slow start and their fans get a wake up call really fast.

Truth is He fucked up & got away with it!!

He was with a Crazy Bitch. He should have known more about her getting beat by himself , or someone else. Why he did not tell police she was beat when in question is beyond me ?

Anyone have better knowledge than myself ? Was he guilty, or did he do it & got away with only other counts. Maybe he just couldn’t control a Crazy Bitch who just called the police on him, & he has all these other things

Well they open at Minnesota, so that certainly spells 0-1.
Detroit....you know Detroit with Stafford....can beat anyone and lose to anyone....sometimes in the same game.

Very very true. But you do forget that the Whiners do have the best QB ever to lace up his cleats after a few games. He might be able to throw the ball, catch it, and block for himself at the same time.

Honestly I think it was the last one. Believe me, sometimes you don’t know you have a crazy bitch until it’s to late!

Not good to lose your biggest/baddest defensive player (per 69er fans) for the first 2 games of the season. I believe he luckily dodged a bigger bullet though.

Huh, weapons charge and drug use and probable woman beating is worth 2 whole games! Me smells a little NFL favoritism towards the Whiners! They are dying for them to return to glory. He should have received at least 6 games.

Yeah, Ezekial Elliot got 6 games and I don't think was convicted of anything. I see a little inconsistency there.

Yeah - & then when police come to the door your fucked. He either lied to police though or did it in my eyes. Hard to sway me different unless I don’t know the story all that well. I think from the info I got though something went down.

He could have been using or under influence which helped him make up a story.
