Human Factors
The event occurred on the visual approach to XXR. We were turned in a bit tight to intercept the final and I was slow in getting a rate of descent established sufficient enough to capture the glide slope. We turned the flight directors off and autopilot off and continued. We were stable by 500 feet but exceeded 1;000 FPM below 1;000 feet AGL. I think I reached 1;300 FPM during the correction to capture the glide slope. The landing and taxi in was uneventful. First leg of a three day trip after being off for a few days may have played a role. I haven't done a whole lot of flying since being off for 2 months.My proficiency is coming back to pre-coronavirus time off slowly but surely.
We were on visual approach to XXR at ZZZ.  PF was late starting down to catch the glide path.  Configured and approximately one dot high and ten knots fast at 1;000 feet; unstable but correcting.  Stable by 500 feet but had inadvertently reached a VVI of about 1;300 FPM for a short period below 1;000 feet in the process.  Landing was uneventful.Cause: A lapse in monitoring the descent rate by both pilots. An earlier recognition of developing circumstances that could lead to instability would have likely mitigated this occurrence.
Air carrier flight crew reported experiencing an unstabilized approach; disconnected the autopilot and stabilized at 500 feet and landed uneventfully.
