Foster wasn't in Indianapolis for very long, considering he had just signed with the team Tuesday. He previously spent time this season on the Giants' practice squad, but he hasn't appeared in an NFL game since 2020 with the Commanders. He'll now work to land an opportunity elsewhere.

Robert Foster: Signs with Giants' practice squad
Rotowire
The Giants signed Foster (hamstring) to their practice squad Monday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Foster was set to miss the entire 2022 season after being placed on the injured reserve list in August, but he eventually agreed to an injury settlement with the Giants and has now made his way back onto the practice squad. If Kadarius Toney (hamstring), Kenny Golladay (knee) and Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) continue to miss time, it would not be surprising to see Foster elevated soon.

Giants' Robert Foster: Full go at practice Monday
Rotowire
Foster (undisclosed) was a full participant during Monday's practice, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
Foster was injured making a diving catch during Wednesday's practice and needed to be carted off the field. However, the undrafted wideout appears to have avoided a major injury and has already returned to full participation after sporting a non-contact jersey Sunday. Although Foster is probably a longshot to make the roster, he does have history with head coach Brian Daboll, playing for him at Alabama and also spending the 2018 and 2019 campaigns with him in Buffalo.

Foster (undisclosed) missed practice Wednesday after suffering an injury Tuesday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Foster was injured making a diving catch and needed to be carted off the field. Although he was probably a longshot to make the roster, Foster does have history with head coach Brian Daboll, playing for him in Alabama and also spending 2018 and 2019 with the Bills. A speedy return to the practice field would also certainly help his chances.

Giants' Robert Foster: Signs with Big Blue
Rotowire
Foster signed a contract with the Giants on Monday, Michael Eisen of the Giants' official website reports.
Foster, who played for new Giants head coach Brian Daboll at Alabama and with the Bills, didn't appear in a game during 2021, as he spent the majority of the season on the Cowboys' practice squad. As a rookie with Buffalo in 2018, Foster caught 27 of 44 targets for 541 yards and three touchdowns, but he was held under 100 yards in each of his following campaigns. It's unclear if he'll make the roster, but his familiarity with Daboll certainly doesn't hurt his chances.

Robert Foster: Released by Dallas
Rotowire
Foster was released by the Cowboys on Saturday.
Foster spent the majority of the 2021 campaign on the Cowboys' practice squad after going unclaimed off waivers following an injury settlement with the Dolphins. The former Alabama wideout signed a reserve/future contract with Dallas in mid-January, so this move comes as a little bit of a surprise. As a rookie with Buffalo in 2018, Foster caught 27 of 44 targets for 541 yards and three touchdowns, but he was held under 100 yards in each of the next two seasons and didn't make an appearance in 2021.

Robert Foster: Cut with injury designation
Rotowire
The Dolphins cut Foster (undisclosed) with an injury designation Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Foster faced steep competition for a depth role in Miami's crowded receiving room, and he's dealing with an undisclosed injury to boot. Since racking up an impressive 27 catches for 541 yards and three scores as an undrafted rookie in Buffalo back in 2018, Foster hasn't logged much in the way of meaningful regular-season production.

Dolphins' Robert Foster: Heads to Miami
Rotowire
Foster agreed to a one-year contract with the Dolphins on Wednesday, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.
Foster hasn't produced any meaningful statistics since recording a 27-541-3 line as an undrafted rookie with the Bills in 2018. The Dolphins already have DeVante Parker, Preston Williams (foot) and Jakeem Grant (ankle) locked into key roles for 2021, so Foster is unlikely to see much regular wok at receiver. Instead, the 26-year-old will likely make his biggest impact on the Dolphins' special-teams units.

Football Team's Robert Foster: Another quiet year
Rotowire
Foster played in four games for the Washington Football Team in 2020, catching two of six targets for 37 yards.
Foster hasn't been able to recapture his 2018 rookie magic from Buffalo, but he did play a lot of special-teams snaps for Washington in December and January, potentially creating a path to a roster spot in 2021. The Alabama product isn't likely to generate much interest as a restricted free agent this offseason, after catching just five passes in 17 games the past two years.
