Tyler Higbee Placed on IR with Ankle Injury, Will Miss At Least Four Games

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee has been placed on Injured Reserve due to an ankle injury sustained in the Week 11 victory over the Seattle Seahawks. This move means Higbee will be sidelined for a minimum of four games. Prior to the injury, Higbee was a key component of the Rams' four-man tight end rotation, leading the group by running a route on 53% of the team's pass plays this season. His absence creates increased opportunities for fellow tight ends Terrance Ferguson, Colby Parkinson, and Davis Allen to step into more prominent roles.
