Emmanuel Forbes Jr. To Undergo Thumb Surgery
3 months agoWashington Commanders cornerback Emmanuel Forbes Jr. (thumb) will undergo surgery on Friday to repair a torn UCL in his thumb, according to NFL insider Ian Rapoport. It's unclear how much time Forbes will miss, but having the procedure now will fix what could have been an issue all season long. The 2023 first-round pick out of Mississippi State has compiled 38 tackles (35 solo), one interception, and 11 pass deflections through his first 15 NFL games. He struggled mightily last season as a rookie, but his absence could still be meaningful and cause depth issues in the Washington secondary.
