The Washington Commanders host the Miami Dolphins Sunday in the first game since defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio’s firing. Washington could be without rookie cornerback Emmanuel Forbes, who missed practice again on Thursday with an elbow injury. Forbes also missed last week’s game at Dallas, with what head coach Ron Rivera called a “pretty significant” injury.
The first-round pick has struggled this season but has played much better since returning to the lineup in Week 9. With the Commanders in full evaluation mode for the remainder of the season, every rep is valuable for Forbes and other young players.
Here’s a look at Thursday’s injury report for the Commanders:
- CB Emmanuel Forbes: DNP (elbow)
- C Tyler Larsen: Limited (knee)
- DE James Smith-Williams: DNP (hamstring)
- FB Alex Armah: Limited (hamstring)
The Dolphins’ injury report is a long one, but in some good news, star wide receiver Tyreek Hill and running back Raheem Mostert were back Thursday on a limited basis. I’d expect both to play on Sunday.
DNP:
- S Jevon Holland (knees)
- OT Kendall Lamm (back)
Limited:
- WR Tyreek Hill (ankle)
- RB Raheem Mostert (ankle/knee)
- OL Lester Cotton (illness)
- RB De’Von Achane (knee)

- LS Blake Ferguson (ankle)
- RG Robert Hunt (hamstring)
- FB Alec Ingold (foot/ankle)
- OL Robert Jones (knee)
- TE Durham Smythe (ankle)
- C Connor Williams (illness)
- Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was listed on the injury report with a right arm laceration but was a full participant.
