Reuben Foster, who was cut by the 49ers on Sunday after being arrested for domestic violence on Saturday night at the team's hotel in Tampa prior to its game against the Buccaneers, has been claimed by the Redskins.

Washington, which travels to Philadelphia this weekend to play the Eagles on Monday night, was reportedly the only team to put in a claim for the 24-year-old linebacker.

Foster allegedly slapped a woman on Saturday night. He was arrested for first-degree misdemeanor domestic-violence battery and was released from jail after posting bond during the 49ers loss on Sunday according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
