Emmanuel Forbes injury:

Dan Quinn said CB Emmanuel Forbes hurt his wrist during the loss in Tampa, which is why he went in for X-Rays post-game. He will wear a split in practice, but the injury is not expected to keep him out. (Forbes did indicate after the game that the injury is not serious.)

CXN: Quinn misspoke. It’s actually a thumb injury for Forbes. Not a wrist injury. https://t.co/qTB43L8yfD

— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) September 11, 2024

Dan Quinn said CB Emmanuel Forbes banged up his wrist Sunday; will wear a splint today. Said of his game Sunday, “…want plays back? You bet… He’s improving and he’s going to improve.”
