Washington head coach Jay Gruden acknowledged the criticism his team has received for bringing aboard Reuben Foster after the linebacker was arrested Saturday and charged with first-degree misdemeanor domestic violence battery.
"At the end of the day we made the decision and will have to deal with the outcry," Gruden said while noting Foster isn't guaranteed to play, per Les Carpenter of the Washington Post. He also called it a team-wide decision to add the linebacker, per Carpenter.
The San Francisco 49ers announced they released Foster on Sunday shortly after he was arrested at the team hotel in Tampa, Florida.
