Richard Sherman: I Don't Have A Relationship With Russell Wilson

Nov 29, 2018 8:16 PM

Richard Sherman said he doesn't have a relationship with former teammate Russell Wilson.

"I don't really have a relationship with Russell," Sherman said. "We were teammates. We played through a very special time for the franchise."

It was mentioned to Sherman that he knew what Wilson was capable of doing making plays outside the pocket. Sherman responded by saying that he's also seen Wilson struggle.

"Yeah, I've also seen him throw five picks in the game, so you see what he's capable of on both sides of it," he said. "You understand that he can be defended, so you go out there and give it your best shot."

Wilson threw five interception in Seattle's 2016 loss to the Packers.

Wilson praised Sherman as being "as good as it gets at corner" and said he has a lot of respect for him and how he plays the game.

"He's going to be a Hall of Fame corner," Wilson said. "He's a guy that meant so much to our football team when he was here. Just how many plays he made. ... He was always able to teach the younger guys as well.

"And so, to be able to go up against him in practice every day helped my career and just helped my understanding of the game and just confidence in everything else going against one of the best corners. ... So I'm grateful for that."

Washington Claims Reuben Foster Off Waivers

Nov 27, 2018 10:10 PM

Washington claimed Reuben Foster off waivers three days after he was arrested on a misdemeanor domestic violence charge.

Foster was subsequently placed on the commissioner's exempt list, meaning he cannot practice or attend games but can be at the team facility on "a reasonable basis" for workouts, meetings and other permitted non-football activities.

Washington was the only team to put in a waiver claim for Foster.

Foster was a first round pick in 2017 by the San Francisco 49ers.

According to the arrest report, the woman pressing charges against Foster for Saturday night's incident is Elissa Ennis, with whom Foster has been involved off and on for three years. It wasn't their first domestic incident.

49ers To Release Reuben Foster After Domestic Violence Arrest

Nov 25, 2018 3:32 PM

The San Francisco 49ers will release Reuben Foster following a charge of misdemeanor domestic violence.

Foster was arrested Saturday at 9:10 p.m. at the Grand Hyatt hotel in Tampa and booked into jail two hours later. Foster's bond was set at $2,000 during a bail hearing Sunday morning along with orders to avoid any contact with the accuser. Foster was released on bond Sunday afternoon.

Foster was previously arrested on charges of felony domestic violence stemming from a February incident at his home in Los Gatos.

According to the arrest report, the woman pressing charges against Foster for Saturday night's arrest is Elissa Ennis, the same woman who accused Foster of felony domestic violence earlier this year.

"We have a set of standards in place that the players were involved with in developing," John Lynch said. "In this case, it was communicated exceptionally clear and to the point as to what we expected out of him and unfortunately what transpired yesterday, this isn't a comment on what happened there because that would be mere speculation on our part. It's more of a comment on him not living up to what we had communicated and to the energy and the time that we've invested in him.

"That doesn't mean we don't love him, we all do, we care for him but we feel like it's in the best interest of our organization to move on at this point and that's a very tough decision."

Nov 2, 2018 8:05 AM

The San Francisco 49ers are expected to be without Raheem Mostert for the remainder of the season after he suffered a broken right forearm against the Oakland Raiders on Thursday night.

Kyle Shanahan said he wasn't told whether Mostert was done for the year, but added, "I would assume so with a broken arm."

Mostert took a handoff to the left side and was taken down for no gain by defensive tackle Clinton McDonald with 4:38 to go in the third quarter. Before the injury, Mostert had rushed for 86 yards in seven carries, including a 52-yard touchdown.
