49ers' Reuben Foster carted off with leg injury vs. Panthers
by from on (#31RGH)
San Francisco 49ers linebacker Reuben Foster was carted off the field Sunday against the Carolina Panthers with an apparent leg injury.
Foster went down in the first quarter and immediately grabbed his leg. The 49ers announced his return was questionable, but he did return to the sideline shortly after, per Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle.
The 49ers drafted Foster in the first round in 2017 and were expecting big things from the rookie. Fellow linebacker NaVorro Bowman has struggled to stay healthy in recent years, so Foster was going to be an impact player for the 49ers as well as provide the team insurance at the position.
