Makes quick return Higbee (shoulder) returned to Thursday's game against Seattle, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

Impact Higee appeared to suffer a potentially serious injury while blocking late in the second quarter. He was in significant pain on the sideline and also was evaluated in the medical tent. However, he was evidently cleared to return to the game and should be set to take on his typical role moving forward.

Suffers shoulder injury Higbee is questionable to return to Thursday's matchup against Seattle with a shoulder injury, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

Impact Higbee appeared to suffer the injury while blocking on a running play late in the second quarter. He was seen doubled over in pain on the sideline and ultimately went for further examination under the blue tent. There are no further details available at this time, though Johnny Mundt could see an increased role in Higbee's absence.

FANTASY PLAYS: Players to start and sit for NFL Week 5

The Carolina Panthers’ defense started the season hot, but were a little less scary last week against Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys

OCTOBER 7, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Set to play Thursday Higbee (ankle) doesn't have a designation for Thursday's game in Seattle, Stu Jackson of the Ram's official site reports.

Impact Higbee was listed as limited on L.A.'s first two injury reports of Week 5 prep, only to practice in full on the final one. Granted, Wednesday's session was merely a walkthrough, but the tight end has been cleared for action Thursday. Higbee he'll look to produce against a Seahawks defense that has allowed 10.4 YPC to opposing tight ends this season.

Remains limited Tuesday Higbee (ankle) was a limited participant at Tuesday's walkthrough, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

Impact Higbee handled all 111 of the Rams' offensive snaps through the first two games of the campaign, only to fall back to 103 of 133 (77.4 percent) in the past two contests. His production has been respectable, with 15 catches (on 18 targets) for 152 yards and one touchdown to date. Assuming he gets through Week 5 prep unscathed and suits up as expected Thursday in Seattle, Higbee could be poised for another modest performance against a Seahawks defense that sits in a tie for 13th-most catches allowed (21) to tight ends this season.

Rams determined to rebound from thrashing on short week

The Los Angeles Rams’ unbeaten record and their three-game stint as the best-looking team in the league came to a crashing halt with their blowout loss to Arizona

OCTOBER 5, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Limited on Monday's practice estimate Higbee (ankle) was listed as limited on Monday's practice estimation, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.

Impact Higbee was on the field for 54 of a possible 68 snaps on offense in Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Cardinals, en route to hauling in four of his six targets for 36 yards. We'll circle back on the tight end's status after Tuesday's walkthrough to see how the Rams list his participation, but so far there's nothing to suggest that his availability for Thursday night's game against the Seahawks is in danger.

Just one catch Higbee caught his lone target for eight yards in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Colts.

Impact Higbee got shut down while Rams WR Cooper Kupp stole the show with a 9-163-2 line. QB Matthew Stafford has certainly elevated this offense, so Higbee has weekly upside as he showed in Week 1 with five receptions for 58 yards. The Rams will go back home for a Week 3 matchup against the Buccaneers, who have given up 16 for 144 and no touchdowns to tight ends through two games.
