Won't play Sunday Head coach Sean McVay told reporters Friday that Forbes (coach's decision) won't play in Sunday's matchup against the Bills, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Forbes was claimed off waivers by the Rams on Monday after being waived by the Commanders on Nov. 30. He likely hasn't had enough time to learn the Rams' defensive scheme in order to play on such short notice. The 2023 first-round pick has appeared in six games this season, recording seven total tackles and one interception across 106 defensive snaps. Expect Forbes to serve as a depth piece in the Rams' secondary once he's up to speed with the team's defense.

Unlikely to play versus Buffalo Coach Sean McVay said Wednesday that Forbes is unlikely to play Sunday against the Bills, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

Impact Forbes was claimed off waivers from the Commanders on Monday, and it would be unfair to expect him to be up to speed on the defense in such short order. The No. 16 overall pick in the 2023 Draft, this Forbes move by Los Angeles was as much about the future as it is about the present. Washington's new coaching staff threw in the towel on Forbes after he appeared in six games this season. He'd played just eight defensive snaps since Week 7.

Picked up by Rams The Rams claimed Forbes off waivers Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Forbes, a 2023 first-round pick from Mississippi State, was waived by the Commanders on Nov. 30 after struggling throughout his first 20 games in the NFL. He recorded 45 total tackles and 12 passes defended, including two interceptions, during his time in Washington, but also allowed 43 completions for 673 yards and three touchdowns in coverage. However, he's already found a new home with the Rams and will likely serve as a depth piece in the team's secondary as the season progresses.

Commanders Release 2023 First-Round CB Emmanuel Forbes. Can Forbes Succeed Elsewhere? The Washington Commanders have released 2023 first-round cornerback Emmanuel Forbes.

DECEMBER 1 • CHARLOTTEOBSERVER.COM

Let loose by Washington Forbes was waived by the Commanders on Friday.

Impact Forbes was a first-round pick by Washington in 2023 and played in 14 regular-season games as a rookie, tallying 38 tackles (35 solo) and 11 pass defenses, including an interception. He started six contests last year but has logged just one start in 2024 and has missed five games -- two due to a thumb injury and three as a healthy scratch. In his final game for Washington, which took place Week 10 versus Pittsburgh, Forbes logged just two defensive snaps. With his time in Washington done, the Mississippi State product will likely look for a fresh start with a new organization.

Full practice Wednesday Forbes was a full participant at the Commanders' practice Wednesday.

Impact Forbes appears to have left his UCL injury from earlier this season in the past, securing a tackle, an interception and pass defensed in the team's 40-7 win over the Panthers in Week 7. The cornerback has seen his playing time fluctuate this season and he'll look to build off of his performance against Carolina when the Commanders host the Bears on Sunday.

Sitting out again Forbes (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Ravens.

Impact Forbes was previously out of action after undergoing surgery to repair a torn UCL. However, the Mississippi state product returned in Week 4 but saw his role shrink considerably in Week 5. He'll now seemingly have to work to earn back a role in Washington's secondary.

Past thumb injury Forbes (thumb) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact The 2023 first-round pick was sidelined for the past two weeks after undergoing surgery to repair a torn UCL in his thumb following the Commanders' Week 1 loss to the Buccaneers. However, Monday's full practice indicates that the second-year pro has moved past the issue. Expect Forbes to serve as one of Washington's top rotational cornerbacks as the season progresses.

Inactive for Monday night Forbes (thumb) is inactive ahead of Monday night's matchup with the Bengals.

Impact Forbes is slated to miss his second consecutive game after undergoing surgery to repair a torn UCL in his thumb following the Commanders' Week 1 loss to the Buccaneers. Expect Michael Davis to see increased snaps as a rotational cornerback in Forbes' stead.

SEPTEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Week 3 Forbes (thumb) is listed as questionable for Week 3 against the Bengals after participating in Saturday's practice in a limited capacity.

Impact Forbes was forced to sit out for Week 2 against the Giants after undergoing surgery to repair a torn UCL in his thumb. He opened the week as a DNP on Thursday, but the 2023 first-round pick has given himself a chance at playing Monday after practicing Friday and Saturday, albeit in a limited fashion. Michael Davis played 22 defensive snaps in Week 2 in Forbes' absence, and the former would likely see a similar amount of playing time Monday if the latter is unable to suit up.

SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Has thumb surgery, out for Week 2 Coach Dan Quinn said Friday that Forbes (thumb) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

Impact Quinn said Forbes won't be placed on IR, but that it's too early to make a decision on his potential availability against the Bengals in Week 3, per Ben Standig of The Athletic. The rotational cornerback isn't expected to be out "too long" according to Quinn, so it sounds like a Week 3 return may be with the realm of possibility.

Impact Forbes sustained a thumb injury in the Commanders' Week 1 loss to the Buccaneers. He managed to practice in full Wednesday, but the 2023 first-round pick will undergo surgery Friday to repair a torn UCL in his thumb, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Impact Forbes suffered the injury in a Week 1 loss to the Buccaneers and was expected to play through it Sunday against the Giants by wearing a splint. However, the move to have surgery may change that plan and it's not clear when the 2023 first-round selection will suit up again. More clarity may be available once the team releases their next injury report.
