This hasn’t been the rookie season Washington Commanders cornerback Emmanuel Forbes envisioned. Forbes’ struggles began in Washington’s Week 4 loss to the Eagles. In the Commanders’ next two games, against the Giants and Eagles, Forbes played five defensive snaps in each game. In a conversation with WUSA 9 sports anchor Chick Hernandez, Forbes acknowledged the benching shook him. Regardless of what Rivera thinks or believes, Forbes should be on the field for 100% of Washington’s defensive snaps over the final three games.
