For most of the offseason, it seemed that Mason Foster was going to once again be the starter at middle linebacker for the Washington Redskins defense. Foster, who led the team in tackles last year, started most of last season along with Zach Brown. But with Brown’s departure and Reuben Foster‘s injury, Mason Foster was expected to continue on in a starting role in 2019.
That is, until he was cut on Tuesday afternoon.
Foster was released by the Redskins just a day before players were due to report to training camp.
