Reuben Foster suffered what looked like a painful injury Sunday afternoon in the San Fransisco 49ers 2017 season opener against the Carolina Panthers.
The former Alabama linebacker was the 31st overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft of the 49ers. Many pundits believe he is primed to have a great rookie season if he stays healthy after making a name for himself with the Crimson Tide.
This injury could put his first season at risk.

The timetable for his return is unknown. Safe to say, fans are itching for him to return.
