Brown"},"content":{"rendered":"

Cornerback Emmanuel Forbes hasn’t lived up to his first-round pedigree yet, but he’ll look to revitalize his career <\/a>with the Los Angeles Rams<\/a> after he joined the team late in the 2024 season.<\/p>\n

He’ll also get an early opportunity to redeem himself against one of the toughest matchups he’s faced early in his NFL career: Philadelphia Eagles<\/a> receiver A.J. Brown.<\/p>\n

Forbes faced Brown three times in the past two years and hasn’t fared well against the star wideout. Per Pro Football Focus<\/a>, Brown was targeted 10 times when covered by Forbes during their Week 4 matchup in 2023, where he caught six passes for 147 yards and two touchdowns. Four weeks later, Brown caught two receptions for 45 yards and a touchdown in a game he finished with eight receptions for 130 yards and two scores.<\/p>\n

Forbes didn’t suit up against the Eagles in the Commanders<\/a>‘ Week 11 matchup in 2024 before he was released and didn’t play in the Rams’ Divisional Round game against Philadelphia either.<\/p>\n

So, if he stays healthy and in the team’s good graces, Forbes will get his first crack at Brown and the Eagles in the Rams’ Week 3 match in Philadelphia. It’s unclear what Rams defensive coordinator Chris Shula will do in coverage, but Forbes could develop into a solid contributor for the team throughout the summer as he gets a full offseason under his belt with his new team.<\/p>\n

The Brown matchup will be a big one for Forbes in his redemption arc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cornerback Emmanuel Forbes hasn’t lived up to his first-round pedigree yet, but he’ll look to revitalize his career…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":133379,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2079],"tags":[14093,8694,247,265,240,4888,427,25,1581,25013,7,18493,1070,239,1014,58,2444,2611,248,267,88,6,245,537,242,109,530,424,9,266,855,111],"class_list":{"0":"post-133378","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles-rams","8":"tag-a-j","9":"tag-a-j-brown","10":"tag-american","11":"tag-american-football","12":"tag-angeles","13":"tag-brown","14":"tag-commanders","15":"tag-eagles","16":"tag-emmanuel","17":"tag-emmanuel-forbes-jr","18":"tag-football","19":"tag-forbes","20":"tag-jr","21":"tag-los","22":"tag-los-angeles","23":"tag-los-angeles-rams","24":"tag-losangeles","25":"tag-losangelesrams","26":"tag-national","27":"tag-national-sports","28":"tag-news","29":"tag-nfl","30":"tag-overall","31":"tag-overall-positive","32":"tag-philadelphia","33":"tag-philadelphia-eagles","34":"tag-positive","35":"tag-rams","36":"tag-sports","37":"tag-sports-news","38":"tag-washington","39":"tag-washington-commanders"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114690820943581016","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133378","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133378"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133378\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/133379"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133378"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133378"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133378"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
