Emmanuel Forbes

Emmanuel Forbes will undergo surgery to repair a torn UCL in his thumb Friday.

Forbes injured his thumb during Week 1 against the Buccaneers, and while he was a full participant in Wednesday’s practice, the 2023 first-round selection will go under the knife Friday. It’s not known how much time Forbes will miss at this point and John Keim of ESPN noting that the surgery will determine how long Forbes misses, but it seems probable that an operation like this will cause a multi-week absence.
