8:15 a.m. -- Linebacker Reuben Foster and wide receiver Victor Bolden will not count against the 49ers’ 53-player limit, as they go on the NFL’s reserve/suspended list.
Foster will serve a two-game suspension for violations of the league’s policies on substances of abuse and personal conduct. Foster’s violations stem from a misdemeanor weapons offense in Los Gatos and a misdemeanor charge of possession of marijuana in Alabama.
Bolden will serve a four-game suspension for violating the league’s policy on performance-enhancing substances. Bolden said he unknowingly used a supplement that contained an ingredient on the list of banned substances.
