San Francisco 49ers rookie linebacker Reuben Foster has not been ruled out for the team’s Week 5 game against the Indianapolis Colts, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.
Of course, it’s big news that Foster hasn’t been automatically ruled out, but it’s still unlikely that he plays.
“I’d be surprised if he came back this week,” Shanahan said. “Not totally ruling him out but I’d be surprised.”
Obviously, Foster playing would be a big surprise. I doubt he will, but if he’s not being ruled out at this point, then his status for Week 6 has to be looking pretty good.
