San Francisco 49ers linebacker Reuben Foster will not be a participant in offseason team activities while he tends to legal matters, the team announced, according to Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle.

"Reuben Foster will not participate in team activities as he is tending to his legal matters," said CEO Jed York in a statement. "As previously stated, his future with the team will be determined by the information revealed during the legal process."

Foster was charged with felony domestic violence against his live-in girlfriend last week and faces 11 years in prison for his actions. Foster threw his girlfriend out of their house by her hair and punched her in the head multiple times, according to the police report.

The 49ers' offseason program begins with voluntary workouts on Monday.

Foster was a first-round pick of the 49ers last spring and started 10 games as a rookie in 2017.
