Plays 16 snaps vs. Dolphins Forrest (hamstring) finished Saturday's preseason game against the Dolphins with one tackle while playing 16 snaps (13 on offense, three on special teams).

Impact Forrest had been held out of practice since early August after sustaining a hamstring injury. He played in just five regular-season games last year due to a shoulder fracture in October, and his hamstring injury has prevented him from taking valuable reps with the defense. After starting at safety over the last two seasons, Forrest appears to be slated to serve in a backup role behind Jeremy Chinn and Quan Martin.

Not participating in practice Forrest (hamstring) is out at practice Friday but not participating, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Impact It appears that Forrest is not winning the starting spot for free safety so far this offseason, and it now appears he's also battling a hamstring problem. The 5-foot-11 safety recorded 29 tackles (13 solo) and zero interceptions in the 2023 season with Washingtons.

Working with backups Quan Martin has been getting most of the first-team reps at free safety ahead of Forrest and Percy Butler, Hogs Haven's Jamual Forrest reports.

After mostly defending the slot as a rookie, Martin will move back in the secondary to facilitate rookie second-round pick Mike Sainristil becoming the new nickelback. With Jeremy Chinn expected to start at strong safety, Forrest and Butler look to be the odd men out.
