Reuben Foster has AC joint sprain, different from shoulder surgery injury

The San Francisco 49ers released their Thursday injury report, and rookie linebacker Reuben Foster will be limited to no contact. He is listed with a shoulder injury, which the 49ers are describing as an AC joint sprain. It is the same shoulder he had rotator cuff surgery on, but this is unrelated to that surgery.

Foster injured the shoulder on Wednesday during individual work, and was held out of team drills. After practice, general manager John Lynch was asked about the injury, and he said Foster told him things were straight with it.
