The Washington Commanders have made significant roster moves, placing running back Austin Ekeler on injured reserve and releasing cornerback Emmanuel Forbes, the 2023 first-round pick. These decisions mark a continued pattern of the team cutting ties with former first-round selections from the Ron Rivera era, having now released all six of their first-round draft picks from 2019 to 2023. Fans are reacting to these moves, expressing both frustration and hope for the future, as other teams like the Bengals and Patriots consider claiming the recently released Forbes.
