Foster (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Colts, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Foster suffered the concussion during Monday's win over the Dolphins, so it's not a major surprise he wasn't able to clear the concussion protocol in the last few days. B.J. Finney is likely to take over at left guard for the Steelers.

Foster is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Dolphins while he gets checked for a concussion, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear when Foster picked up the injury, but out of halftime, he won't make an appearance on the field. The Tennessee product will have to clear the league's mandated concussion protocol before granted re-entry. In his absence, B.J. Finney has taken over at left guard and should continue to do so as long as Foster is sidelined.

Foster signed a two-year, $8.25 million deal with the Steelers on Thursday, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Foster started all 16 games for the Steelers last season and has missed only four games over the last four seasons, so it's unsurprising the team wanted him back on a short-term deal. The 33-year-old will likely remain at left guard for the Steelers in 2019.

Foster (knee) was a full participant at Thursday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Foster sustained the injury in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs, but ultimately wasn't forced to miss any practice time. The 32-year-old should be at his post at starting right guard for the Steelers on Monday.

Foster (knee) sustained a knee injury in Sunday's 42-37 loss to the Chiefs, Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
It remains to be seen whether Foster's current injury is related to the bone bruise he spent the offseason nursing. With Marcus Gilbert (hamstring) also recovering from an injury, Pittsburgh's offensive line enters Week 3 surrounded by question marks. If Foster were to miss any time, B.J. Finney would step in for him at the left guard position.
