• Rams' Tyler Higbee: Lone catch goes for TD in return

  1H ago • By RotoWire

  Higbee (knee) caught one of two targets for an 11-yard touchdown in Sunday's 19-9 win over the Jets. Higbee's first catch of the season was an important one, as he scored to break a 9-9 tie with 10:11 left in the fourth quarter. He was making his season debut after tearing his right ACL in January. The veteran tight end was an above-average pass catcher at his position prior to the injury, but Higbee will likely be limited to a situational role for the remainder of the regular season. Up next for Higbee is a Week 17 home game against the Cardinals.

• Rams' Tyler Higbee: Should have limited role in debut

  10H ago • By RotoWire

  Higbee (knee/illness) will make his season debut Sunday against the Jets and is expected to handle about 20-to-25 snaps, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. Though an illness prevented Higbee from practicing Thursday, he didn't experience any hiccups with his surgically repaired right knee and headed into the weekend without a designation after returning to practice Friday as a full participant. The absence Thursday marked the only time in the past three weeks of prep that Higbee wasn't listed as a full participant, but the Rams are still aiming to ease the tight end back into the mix Sunday in what will be his first game action since tearing the ACL and MCL in his knee in a Jan. 14 playoff loss to the Lions. While Higbee should start in Week 16, he'll likely be part of a committee at tight end that will likely include Colby Parkinson and Hunter Long, and possibly even Davis Allen (if active) as a fourth option at the position.

• Rams' Tyler Higbee: No injury designation

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Higbee (knee/illness) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jets, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports. The Rams listed Higbee as a full participant on seven consecutive practice reports before an illness sidelined him Thursday. He was back to full participation Friday and now appears set to make his 2024 debut, returning from the ACL and MCL tears he suffered in a playoff loss to the Lions in January. Higbee has a long track record of handling huge snap counts but probably won't be tasked with that type of workload in his first game back from major surgery and a prolonged absence.

• Rams' Tyler Higbee: Comes down with illness

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Higbee (knee) missed Thursday's practice due to an illness, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports. The Rams waited until the very end of Higbee's 21-day window to activate him from the reserve/PUP list Tuesday. As of Wednesday, he was listed as a full participant on seven consecutive injury reports, but he's now dealing with an illness. With another hurdle in his path to returning to action Sunday at the Jets, it remains to be seen if Higbee will be able to make his first appearance since sustaining ACL and MCL tears in his right knee in a playoff loss Jan. 14 at Detroit.

• Rams' Tyler Higbee: Returns from PUP list

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  The Rams reinstated Higbee (knee) from the PUP list Tuesday. The transaction clears the way for Higbee to make his 2024 debut Sunday against the Jets, after he had missed the Rams' first 14 games of the season while recovering from surgery to repair ACL and MCL tears in his right knee. Higbee has been a full practice participant for the past two weeks, but the Rams could still ease him back into the mix with a lighter workload. Despite the missed time, the 31-year-old still represents the Rams' top pass-catching option at tight end after Colby Parkinson, Davis Allen and Hunter Long combined for just 42 receptions over the first 15 weeks of the season.
