Alabama linebacker Reuben Foster will explain to NFL coaches and scouts on Tuesday why he was sent home from the scouting combine, NFL Network's Kimberly Jones reports.

Foster was booted from the event for reportedly threatening a hospital worker and saying "Do you know who I am?" after becoming frustrated while waiting for medical testing.

The projected first-round pick will hold a three-hour session Tuesday in which he will answer questions about the incident, according to a letter his agent sent to all NFL teams.

In the letter, Foster said he knows the combine is a "privilege and an honor."

A day after answering questions, Alabama will hold its Pro Day. Foster is not expected to participate, as he is recovering from surgery.
