Mason Foster: Cut by Washington
The Redskins are cutting Mason Foster, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.Foster recorded 131 tackles (81 solo), two interceptions and one sack last season, logging 1,014 defensive snaps as a 16-game starter. His struggles in coverage may have inspired this decision, with Washington turning to younger alternatives -- Shaun Dion Hamilton, Josh Harvey-Clemons, Jon Bostic, Cole Holcomb -- to compete for playing time at inside linebacker. The group should produce at least one player with IDP utility, as fellow inside 'backer Reuben Foster (knee) will miss the entire season.

Redskins' Mason Foster: Compiles 133 tackles
Mason Foster was a 16-game starter in 2018, piling up a team-high 133 tackles while playing 98.2 percent of the Washington Redskins' defensive snaps.Foster added two interceptions, two fumble recoveries and a sack, but he's a tackle compiler more so than a true playmaker at inside linebacker. He should be back in 2019 for the second season of a two-year, $4 million contract, but it won't come as a huge surprise if Washington tries to find a replacement for his every-down role, potentially seeking a linebacker with better coverage skills.

Redskins' Mason Foster: Logs first sack of 2018
Mason Foster tallied nine tackles (four solo), one sack, and one pass breakup during Saturday's loss to Tennessee.Foster arguably put together his best performance of the season, despite not getting to double-digit tackles like he's done on six occasions in 2018. However, he's recorded just 2.5 sacks over the past five seasons and has gotten his hands on just four passes this year, so don't expect another multi-category stat line when the Washington Redskins take on the Eagles in Week 17.
