Reuben Foster making comeback attempt with Miami Dolphins workout

Alabama’s hardest-hitting linebacker in the Nick Saban era is making an NFL comeback.

Reuben Foster has been out of the league since late 2020, but he is working out with the Miami Dolphins. Barry Jackson, who covers the team for the Miami Herald, reported the news today. Foster was selected in the first round (No. 31 overall) of the 2017 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers. He showed promise, but off-field issues led to him getting released from the team.

Per source close to team, Dolphins today are working out former Alabama All American LB Reuben Foster, the 31st overall pick in 2017 (Washington) who missed 2019 and 2020 with major knee injury.
