Top linebacker prospect Reuben Foster will make himself available to NFL teams Tuesday as he attempts to explain why he was sent home from the scouting combine early.

Foster reportedly threatened a hospital worker after becoming frustrated while waiting for medical testing, prompting his expulsion from the combine.

Foster would not have worked out at the combine even if he had remained in Indianapolis, as he is recovering from surgery, but his dismissal forced him to miss interviews with 16 teams.

Foster apologized to those 16 teams, and his agent sent a letter to the entire league offering teams a chance to ask Foster for his side of the story:

It's a safe bet that teams will take Foster up on his offer. If he is to be the first-round pick analysts expected him to be before the combine, Foster better have a good explanation for the hospital incident.
