The Los Angeles Rams have claimed cornerback Emmanuel Forbes Jr. off waivers from the Washington Commanders, head coach Sean McVay said Monday.
Forbes, the No. 16 pick in 2023, was cut by the Commanders on Saturday. He started seven games in two seasons, but only one in 2024. He was benched in both seasons and missed time due to injury.
He was selected by the Commanders' previous front office and coaching staff that liked that Forbes was adept at taking the ball away. He intercepted 14 passes in his career at Mississippi State, setting a Division I record with six returned for a touchdown.
