Commanders Waive Forbes, Ekeler Hits IR List

News summary

The Washington Commanders have released cornerback Emmanuel Forbes, their 2023 first-round draft pick, amidst a broader trend of shedding first-rounders from the Ron Rivera era, including Chase Young, Jamin Davis, and Jahan Dotson. Forbes, known for his interception skills from his college career, struggled to secure a spot under the new coaching staff led by Dan Quinn and was frequently benched. Additionally, the Commanders placed running back Austin Ekeler on injured reserve following his second concussion of the season during a game against the Dallas Cowboys. Ekeler's absence is a significant blow to the team's backfield as they aim to break a three-game losing streak and maintain their wild-card playoff position. With Brian Robinson Jr. expected to play, the team has elevated other players like kicker Zane Gonzalez and defensive tackle Carl Davis from the practice squad for their upcoming game against the Tennessee Titans. Meanwhile, Marshon Lattimore, acquired at the trade deadline, remains doubtful due to a hamstring injury.
