The Washington Football Team will put linebacker Reuben Foster on injured reserve, a source told ESPN's John Keim.
Players can only return from IR if they made their team's final 53-man roster, which means Foster won't play this season. Rosters must be finalized by 4 p.m. ET on Saturday.
The linebacker tore the ACL and LCL in his left knee in May 2019 shortly after joining Washington. He also sustained nerve damage in his foot, which slowed his recovery.
It will be Foster's second straight season on IR.
Washington also released safety Sean Davis despite giving the former Pittsburgh Steelers veteran a $2-million signing bonus in March, a source told Adam Schefter of ESPN.
