    Coach Dan Quinn said Friday that Emmanuel Forbes (thumb) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants, Zach Selby of the Washington Commanders' official site reports.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 within the realm of possibility.

    Commanders' Emmanuel Forbes: Puts on 17 pounds

    Emmanuel Forbes told reporters last week that he gained 17 pounds in the offseason, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.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 Washington 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).

    Commanders' Emmanuel Forbes: Struggles in debut campaign

    Emmanuel Forbes started six of 14 games during his 2023 rookie season, recording 38 tackles (35 solo), 11 pass defenses, one interception and one fumble recovery.The 16th overall pick was a Week 1 starter, though he didn't get much playing time in the base defense, instead guarding the perimeter in nickel packages. Forbes got some unwanted attention after Eagles WR A.J. Brown dragged him around the field Week 4, with the rookie then logging just 34 defensive snaps over the next four games combined. In and out of the lineup for much of the year, Forbes handled an every-down role the final two weeks of the season but didn't exactly redeem himself. He also finished dead last in PFF run-defense grade among qualified cornerbacks, perhaps validating some of the pre-draft concerns about his lack of size (166 pounds at the combine) being a problem in the NFL. On the other hand, Forbes ran a 4.35-second 40-yard dash after picking off 14 passes (six returned for TDs) in three seasons in the SEC, so a rebound in Year 2 of his professional career wouldn't exactly be a shocking. A new coaching staff in Washington can't hurt, and Forbes' status as a first-round pick should ensure he gets another chance to start.
