"The Commanders will welcome the Super Bowl hopeful Los Angeles Rams to Northwest Stadium in Week 9. It's at 1 p.m. Eastern Time and airing live on FOX. It's also the first chance Forbes has had to go against his old employers since being unceremoniously removed from the equation."
"Washington was absolutely correct to dispose of Forbes way ahead of time. The apple of previous head coach Ron Rivera's eye before and during the 2023 NFL Draft failed to make an impact. He was dangerously undersized, bullied by NFL-caliber wide receivers, and the Commanders' confidence in his outlook diminished significantly."
"When general manager Adam Peters didn't see the correct improvements, Forbes was waived. And the fact that nobody was willing to trade a draft pick to take him off Washington's hands spoke volumes. Forbes landed on the Los Angeles Rams. There were brief flashes of promise last season, but opposing teams still targeted him as a weak link with great success."
"The Rams traded for Trent McDuffie. They signed his former Kansas City Chiefs teammate, Jaylen Watson, in free agency. That will be their new starting option on the boundary, so what that means for Forbes' future is anyone's guess. Washington won't be worried about that. They are focused on getting their own house in order, making the improvements needed after winning just"
The Washington Commanders released their schedule, creating excitement for fans and giving Emmanuel Forbes Jr. a confirmed date to face his former team. In Week 9, Washington hosts the Los Angeles Rams at 1 p.m. Eastern Time on FOX, marking Forbes’ first opportunity to play against the organization that waived him. Forbes posted a veiled message on social media after the schedule release. Washington had moved on from Forbes after he failed to make an impact, including being undersized and struggling against NFL-caliber wide receivers. The Rams acquired Trent McDuffie and signed Jaylen Watson, which could limit Forbes’ playing time when he returns to Washington.
