Reuben Foster – Important – Transaction
LB Reuben Foster was released by the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday morning. On Saturday night, Foster was arrested in Tampa, Fla., on first-degree misdemeanor domestic violence at the Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay. The 49ers were in Tampa to play the Buccaneers Sunday afternoon. The team issued an announcement that it cut ties with the 24-year-old former first-round pick 3:50 a.m. (ET) Sunday without detail, saying “The San Francisco 49ers today announced they are releasing Reuben Foster.” The Sports Xchange confirmed through a custody report from the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s office that Foster was arrested at 9:10 p.m. Saturday and booked into Hillsborough County jail at 11:11 p.m. (ET). He was released on bail shortly after 6 a.m. Sunday.
Reuben Foster – Noteworthy
QB Philip Rivers set a single-game NFL record by completing his first 25 passes and the San Diego Chargers rolled to a 45-10 win against the Arizona Cardinals Sunday at ROKiT Field. The Chargers scored 45 unanswered points and Rivers finished 28-of-29 passing for 259 yards and three touchdowns before departing in the fourth quarter. Rivers broke Mark Brunell’s record of 22 straight completions to open a game, set in 2006, and set the single-game mark for consecutive completions. Ryan Tannehill completed 25 straight passes for the Dolphins in 2011, but that was over two games. “(Rivers) had total confidence,” wide receiver Keenan Allen said. “He told us before the game he was going to ball out, and that’s what he did. He wanted to come back after last week and (have a) bounce back week and I think we did a great job of that.”
