San Francisco 49ers linebacker Reuben Foster has been charged with felony domestic abuse stemming from an incident he was arrested for back in February.
A press release from the District Attorney’s Office in Santa Clara stated that Foster physically attacked a 28-year-old woman and left her with a ruptured ear drum and bruises.

Foster’s February arrest was his second in the span of a month, as he was also detained on Jan. 12 in Alabama and charged with second-degree marijuana possession.
The 49ers recently stood by Foster in the wake of all of his off-field trouble, but team CEO Jed York issued somewhat of a warning to the former Alabama star. Given the disturbing allegations Foster is facing, it would not be a surprise if disciplinary action is handed down.
