Forbes had 45 tackles (32 solo) and 18 passes defensed, including three interceptions, over 17 regular-season games with the Rams in 2025.
EDGE Analysis
Forbes ended the 2024 season as a healthy scratch for the Rams after being waived by the Commanders in early December. After an offseason of work with his new team, the cornerback has grown into a player who better reflects the first-round draft capital used to acquire him. The 25-year-old was a consistent and available producer throughout the 2025 season and will enter 2026 competing for a starting outside cornerback job with the Rams. Forbes has one year left on his rookie deal, and even though the Rams picked him up off waivers, they cannot exercise the fifth-year option typically associated with first-round picks because they are not the team that drafted him.

Forbes (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Seahawks, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Forbes was able to upgrade to a full participant in Friday's practice after being limited for consecutive sessions earlier in the week. The 25-year-old is all set to suit up alongside Cobie Durant and Darious Williams at outside cornerback as the Rams head into a third matchup with the Seahawks.

Forbes (shoulder) was a limited participant in the Rams' practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Forbes managed to practice Wednesday despite having suffered a shoulder injury during last week's divisional-round win versus Chicago. As his injury isn't considered to be serious, the 25-year-old should be good to go for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Seahawks.

Rams head coach Sean McVay said Monday that he doesn't expect Forbes' shoulder injury to impact his availability for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against Seattle, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Forbes hurt his shoulder early in Sunday's divisional-round win over the Bears and ended up logging just four defensive snaps, though he was never officially ruled out from returning. McVay's comment Monday suggests that Forbes' issue isn't serious, so he's trending toward being available against the Seahawks. Still, Forbes' level of participation in practice this week should help determine whether he'll get an injury designation heading into the weekend.

Forbes (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's divisional-round matchup with the Bears, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Forbes likely suffered his shoulder injury when he was ran over by Bears running back Kyle Monangai in the first quarter, and his status for the rest of the contest is now up in the air. In his absence, Roger McCreary and Josh Wallace are both candidates to see an increase in workload at cornerback versus Chicago.

Forbes secured one solo tackle and five passes defensed, including an interception, in Sunday night's 34-7 victory over the Buccaneers.
EDGE Analysis
Forbes has really been on a heater, and he once again made a splash play in Week 12, picking off Baker Mayfield on a hail mary throw prior to halftime. The cornerback has now registered 10 total tackles (eight solo) and 11 passes defensed, including three interceptions, over four games since the Rams' bye in Week 8.

Forbes logged five tackles (four solo) during the Rams' win over the Seahawks on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Forbes had a productive outing in the victory, as he racked up a season-high five tackles. The 24-year-old is off to a solid start to the campaign, as his 26 tackles (20 solo) are just 12 tackles shy of his career-best mark set back in 2023.

Forbes didn't make any tackles but picked off a pass Sunday in a 42-26 Week 10 win over the 49ers.
EDGE Analysis
Forbes logged a 92 percent defensive snap share but didn't record any stops. However, he made an impact with a fourth-quarter interception of Mac Jones as San Francisco was attempting to make a comeback. The pickoff occurred in 49ers territory, and six plays later the Rams essentially put the game away with a touchdown to make the score 42-20. Forbes has notched an interception in two straight games after having no pickoffs across his first seven contests of the campaign.

Forbes (hamstring) participated in Thursday's joint practice with the Saints, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Forbes had been sidelined for the last couple of weeks due to a hamstring injury. He was cleared to return to practice earlier this week, and head coach Sean McVay told reporters after Thursday's session that "[Forbes] got about 50 percent of the snaps today, which was in alignment with the plan." Forbes was claimed off waivers by the Rams in December after being let go by the Commanders, and the 2023 first-rounder is competing for a rotational spot at outside corner behind Ahkello Witherspoon and Darious Williams.

Forbes will be sidelined for at least one week due to a hamstring injury, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Forbes has struggled to maintain a regular role in the secondary with both the Commanders and Rams since being selected in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft. He is expected to serve in a depth role with Los Angeles in 2025, and this injury doesn't look likely to affect his regular season.
