Reuben Foster has settled all of the charges stemming from his domestic violence case earlier this year, but the NFL could still suspend the San Francisco 49ers star after conducting its own investigation.
Foster had the domestic violence charges he was facing dropped last month, and he reached a plea agreement in his misdemeanor assault rifle possession charge on Wednesday. But according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the NFL is still considering a multi-game suspension for the former Alabama star.

The NFL reserves the right to discipline players even if they are found not guilty or avoid being charged, which we saw when Ezekiel Elliott was suspended last year. A judge listed several reasons for dropping the domestic violence charges against Foster, but the NFL does not have to follow the court’s decision.
