He is eligible to play Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs.Not only is Foster a key playmaker on defense, his personality is felt on both sides of the ball, too."Lot of energy," 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo said of Foster after the 49ers' 30-27 victory over the Detroit Lions on Sunday at Levi's Stadium. "He's an exciting guy to be around. Always smiling, always having a good time. It'll be good to have him back."The 49ers struggled with missed tackles in the first two games of the season in Foster's absence. Foster should help the 49ers in that area. It is a discipline that is difficult to practice during the week due to risk of injury, coach Kyle Shanahan said."You're not going to do a bunch of tackling drills in practice," Shanahan said. "That's not very smart. You've got to do it on game day, but to me, when you're struggling at tackling it means you need 11 guys swarming to...
