Cobie Durant’s lung bruise could force newest Ram into lineup against 49ers

The Bills’ Curtis Samuel is tackled by Rams Cobie Durant, left, who suffered a lung bruise, and Christian Rozeboom. The Rams’ decision last week to claim cornerback Emmanuel Forbes Jr., a 2023 first-round draft pick, off waivers from the Washington Commanders could pay an immediate dividend. Rams coach Sean McVay said Monday that cornerback Cobie Durant suffered a lung bruise during the Rams’ victory over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday and that his status for Thursday night’s game against the San Francisco 49ers is to be determined. Forbes, the 16th player chosen in the 2023 draft, was inactive against the Bills because he was still acclimating to the Rams’ system but McVay said Durant’s situation “could definitely impact Emmanuel Forbes and some of the things we do.” As a rookie, Forbes started six games and intercepted one pass.
