NFL Notes: 49ers, Cardinals, Chiefs, Texans

Tom Pelissero reports that at least one team’s medical staff believes Alabama LB Reuben Foster will require another surgery to fix the torn rotator cuff in one of his shoulders or else he’ll be playing through pain.

An executive for another team tells Pelissero that his shoulder issue is “problematic, and the way he plays, how long can he hold up?

Of course, there are other concerns with Foster, who produced a diluted sample at the Scouting Combine and was sent home for an argument with the medical staff.

You better have a Dez Bryant-like infrastructure around him,” a scout tells Pelissero.
