INJURIES
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, 2024 • 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, 2024 • 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.

Limited participant Thursday Forbes (thumb) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
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. Whether Forbes will suit up for Week 2 against the Giants could be more clear once Friday's injury report is released.

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.

Practices in full Forbes (thumb) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Impact The 2023 first-round pick sustained a thumb injury during the Commanders' Week 1 loss, but it appears he'll play through the issue. Forbes recorded four total tackles on 32 defensive snaps in his sophomore debut, and he's expected to serve as one of the Commanders' top rotational cornerbacks in Week 2's matchup against the Giants.
SEPTEMBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
To play through thumb injury Coach Dan Quinn said Wednesday that Forbes (thumb) is expected to play Sunday versus the Giants while wearing a splint, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
Impact Forbes suffered a thumb injury during Washington's loss to the Buccaneers in Week 1, per John Keim of ESPN.com. It won't come as a surprise if the rotational cornerback is limited in practices this week as a result, but the Commanders expect Forbes to be available for Sunday's divisional matchup at home against New York.

Impact Forbes finished the day with four total tackles (two solo), but he appears to have left the contest a little worse for wear. The team will likely provide an update on the cornerback in the near future.

Puts on 17 pounds Forbes told reporters last week that he gained 17 pounds in the offseason, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
Impact If that's accurate, it would mean Forbes's weight has increased by about 10 percent since he checked in at 166 pounds at the 2023 Combine. He was one of the more polarizing CB prospects in recent memory, sporting a thinner build than any current NFL starter at the position. The Commanders took a shot on Forbes with the 16th overall pick, betting that his absurd playmaking track record at Mississippi State (14 INTs, six returned for TDs) would translate to the NFL. It didn't work out that way as a rookie, with Forbes picking off just one pass and getting benched for performance reasons Week 6. He re-entered the starting lineup thereafter but was often picked on by opposing quarterbacks, and it seems the new coaching staff in Washington is hopeful Forbes will fare better with a more conventional build for a corner. That said, he's still among the thinnest players at his position, now listed at 6-foot, 180 pounds (though it sounds like he reported to training camp a few pounds heavier than 180).

Impact Forbes will miss his second straight game in Week 13 as he nurses an elbow injury he sustained in Week 11 versus the Giants. In his stead, Danny Johnson figures to serve as Washington's nickel corner Sunday.

Returns to Week 11 contest Forbes has reentered Sunday's game against the Giants after previously departing with an elbow injury, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Forbes exited in the first half with an elbow issue and was subsequently deemed questionable to return. He appears to be fine, however, as he's since come back into the game. Forbes should resume his rotational role in the Commanders secondary in the second half of the Week 11 matchup.
