Rams Activate Tyler Higbee Off Injured Reserve

Rams Activate Tyler Higbee Off Injured Reserve

4 months ago

The Los Angeles Rams activated tight end Tyler Higbee (knee) from Injured Reserve on Tuesday. Higbee has been practicing in full for the last couple of weeks, but the Rams have been playing it safe with the 31-year-old veteran after he tore both his ACL and MCL in the postseason last year. Now that he's been activated, he's in line to make his 2024 debut this weekend against the New York Jets on Sunday. Higbee is the Rams' best pass-catching option at the tight end position among Colby Parkinson, Davis Allen and Hunter Long, but fantasy managers should fully expect Higbee to be on a strict snap count as they ease him back into the fold following such a long layoff. With only two weeks left in most fantasy leagues, it's hard to imagine Higbee being a realistic option for starting lineups at the TE position. In 15 regular-season starts in 2023, Higbee had 47 catches for 495 yards and two touchdowns.
