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.

Forbes racked up five tackles (four solo) and one pass breakup across two regular-season appearances with the Rams in 2024. He also appeared in six games with the Commanders, totaling seven tackles (two solo) and one pass defensed, including one interception.

EDGE Analysis

Forbes, a 2023 first-round pick, was waived by Washington late December then claimed by Los Angeles. With a limited time to integrate himself to a new defensive scheme, Forbes was then unable to carve out a consistent depth role with his new squad. He didn't play a single snap in either of the team's two playoff appearances. With two years remaining on his rookie deal, Forbes will enter the offseason working to better adapt to a role with the Rams.

Forbes (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Rams claimed Forbes off waivers Dec. 2 after being cut by the Commanders in late November. However, the 2023 first-round pick has been a healthy scratch since the waiver claim. Forbes' next opportunity to play will be Week 17 against the Cardinals on Saturday, Dec. 28.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

Forbes was waived by the Commanders on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

Forbes appears recovered from his UCL injury from earlier this season, as he had 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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.
