The San Francisco 49ers released a statement Sunday revealing linebacker Reuben Foster will not participate in team activities, but is still part of the team after being charged with three felonies last week.

Foster, who was drafted 31st overall in the 2017 NFL Draft by the 49ers, has not been placed on the Commissioner’s Exempt list after he was charged with three felonies including felony domestic violence stemming from a Feb. 11 incident involving Foster’s ex-girlfriend.

“Rueben Foster will not participate in team activities as he is tending to his legal matters,” the 49ers said in a statement from CEO Jed York, general manager John Lynch and coach Kyle Shanahan. “As previously stated, his future with the team will be determined by the information revealed during the legal process.”

The 49ers offseason workout program begins Monday.
