San Francisco 49ers first-round pick Reuben Foster will not play against the Seattle Seahawks due to an ankle injury, according to Matt Barrows of the Sacramento Bee, citing the team injury report.
X-rays for the linebacker's ankle came back negative earlier this week, though he was diagnosed with a high ankle sprain after playing just 12 snaps in the 49ers' season opener.
Foster, the 31st overall pick in this year's draft, was expected to be a bright spot for the 49ers' defense this season, quickly racking up three tackles in his short debut. Ray-Ray Armstrong will likely take Foster’s spot in the starting defense against Seattle.
