Signed a one-year contract with the 49ers in January of 2026.
Goes to IR
San Francisco placed Forrest (undisclosed) on its injured reserve list Thursday.
ANALYSIS
It's not clear what kind of injury Forrest is dealing with, but he's now on track to spend the entire 2026 season on IR unless he negotiates an injury settlement with the 49ers. His absence could open up more opportunities for rookie undrafted free agents Jalen Stroman and Larry Worth.

Forest barely played in 2021 as a rookie fifth-round pick, but he became a crucial part of Washington's defense last year after moving into the starting free safety spot midseason, ultimately recording 88 tackles and a team-high four interceptions across 17 games (11 starts). His per-snap tackle rate wasn't far behind strong safety Kamren Curl's, and while Curl is the favorite to make more tackles this season, Forrest is back as a starter and also could have IDP value.
