Emmanuel Forbes Jr. doesn't play against 49ers, raises Rams secondary concerns

In their season opener against the San Francisco 49ers, the Los Angeles Rams did not utilize cornerback Emmanuel Forbes Jr., surprising many as Josh Wallace took his place. This decision came despite Forbes being the team's best outside corner last season. Following an injury to Kam Curl, Jaylen McCollough was pressed into service, which raised questions about the Rams' defensive strategy moving forward. With the New York Giants on the horizon, the effectiveness of the Rams' secondary is under scrutiny. Speculation arises about Forbes' role on the team and potential trade discussions, particularly in light of the challenging matchup ahead.
