There are a wide variety of ways that Reuben Foster’s year could go with the Washington Football Team.

When the Washington Football Team claimed Reuben Foster off waivers in 2018, they were hoping to get a starting linebacker on the cheap. But so far, that hasn’t materialized.

Foster was placed on the Commissioner’s Exempt List shortly after Washington claimed him and missed the rest of the 2018 season. He came into 2019 expected to be a starting linebacker for the squad, but he suffered a knee injury at OTAs that sidelined him for the whole year.

Fast forward 14 months and there are still questions about Foster’s health. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, teams haven’t been able to host offseason workouts. So, the updates about Foster’s progress were few and far between.

Currently, Foster is on the PUP list. That said, there seems to be some optimism about him playing in 2020. But there is also concern about his overall health and when he might be ready to see the field.

So, will Foster play? And when may he play? There are a lot of potential outcomes for Foster on the comeback trail. Here’s a look at the possible ways Foster’s season could go and which path seems the most likely.
