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

Forbes (thumb) is inactive for Monday's game against the Bengals. Forbes will miss his second consecutive game after he underwent 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.
Forbes (thumb) is listed as questionable for Week 3 against the Bengals after participating in Saturday's practice in a limited capacity. Forbes was forced to sit out 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 of 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.
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. 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.
Forbes (thumb) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice. 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.
Forbes will undergo surgery Friday to repair a torn UCL in his thumb, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. 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.
Forbes (thumb) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. 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.
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. 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.
Forbes (undisclosed) was spotted entering the X-ray room following Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Buccaneers, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports. 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.
