Washington Redskins linebacker Reuben Foster tore both his ACL and his LCL during organized team activities and underwent surgery to repair the injuries on Tuesday, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Foster is expected to be ready for the 2020 campaign.

The Redskins claimed Foster off of waivers back in November after he was released by the San Francisco 49ers following a domestic violence arrest.

Foster, who played his collegiate football at the University of Alabama, was originally selected by the 49ers in the first round (31st pick overall) of the 2017 NFL Draft.

He played in 10 games during his rookie campaign, registering 72 tackles. He missed some time as a result of an ankle injury and was suspended for the first two games of the season for violating the league's personal conduct policy due to a weapons charge and a misdemeanor drug offense.

The following season, Foster appeared in six contests and totaled 29 stops before being cut in late November.

Washington's decision to sign Foster was very controversial due to all of Foster's past issues, but the Redskins decided to give him a second chance, and Foster is certainly a talented linebacker who was seen as someone who could really help their defense in 2019.

But Washington won't see Foster again until 2020 if it even holds on to him past this season.

The Redskins are coming off of a 2018 campaign in which they won just seven games and missed the playoffs for the third straight year. Washington has made only five playoff appearances since 1993.
