TYLER HIGBEE NEWS

Fails to bounce back Higbee secured two of five targets for 14 yards during Sunday's 27-23 loss to the Seahawks.

Impact Aside from two short gains during the Rams' final scoring drive of the game, Higbee's biggest contribution was securing a John Wolford fumble, which allowed Matt Gay to boot a 54-yard field goal to make it a one-point game at the half. The Seahawks looked to be a chance for Higbee to return to prominence after the veteran tight end put up a zero in the stat sheet in Week 12 against the Chiefs, but instead, the Rams struggled to get anything going in the air yet again. It'll be hard for fantasy managers to rely on Higbee, even at such a thin fantasy position, with a Week 14 matchup against the Raiders ahead on Thursday.

Not targeted in Week 12 Higbee (knee) wasn't targeted in Sunday's 26-10 loss to the Chiefs.

Impact Higbee played a season-low 59 percent of offensive snaps while playing through a knee injury after topping 90 percent in six of the previous 10 games. The lingering effects of the injury coupled with Bryce Perkins' lack of passing production (100 yards) led to a quiet afternoon for Higbee. With Matthew Stafford (concussion) likely to remain sidelined in Week 13 against the Seahawks, Higbee will be tough to trust despite facing a Seattle defense that has been gashed by tight ends throughout the year.

Suiting up in Week 12 Higbee (knee) is active for Sunday's game in Kansas City, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Impact A knee injury kept Higbee on the sideline at Wednesday's practice, but he capped the week with back-to-back limited sessions and was given a questionable designation ahead of Week 12 action. Now that he's confirmed as available, he'll be one of the top pass catchers for Sunday's starting quarterback Bryce Perkins, who is filling in for Matthew Stafford (concussion protocol/neck) over fellow reserve John Wolford (neck). Helping Higbee's case for targets is the fact Cooper Kupp (ankle) is on IR and Allen Robinson (ankle) is inactive, meaning his main competitors for reps are Van Jefferson and Ben Skowronek.

Gets questionable tag for Week 12 Rams head coach Sean McVay said Higbee (knee) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The Rams appear content to wait and see how Higbee progresses from the knee injury through the weekend before a formal decision on his status is made when the team releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Higbee appeared on the Rams' injury report with the knee issue after he recorded four receptions for 45 yards on eight targets in last Sunday's loss to the Saints. He didn't practice Wednesday and was then estimated as a limited participant on Thursday's report, but it's unclear if he's healthy enough to fill his usual role as the Rams' top tight end. Even if Higbee is good to go this weekend, he won't have the luxury of working with Matthew Stafford (concussion/neck), who has already been ruled out for Sunday's contest. The Rams are likely to turn to third-stringer Bryce Perkins to direct their offense, after he took the majority of the first-team reps in practice this week while Stafford was sidelined and while No. 2 quarterback John Wolford (neck) was limited.

Increases activity Thursday Higbee (knee) was listed as limited on Thursday's estimated injury report, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Impact One day removed from sitting out due to a knee issue, Higbee got in some work Thursday in what was termed a jog-through. Friday's practice report could clear up his status for Sunday's game in Kansas City entirely, but if not a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff won't leave many viable tight ends to turn to. Currently, Brycen Hopkins is the only other player at the position on the Rams' active roster.

Dealing with knee injury Higbee didn't practice Wednesday due to a knee issue, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Higbee is one of the few Rams' skill-position players to have avoided the injury bug this season, ranging between 71 and 97 percent of the snaps through 10 games. This past Sunday at New Orleans, he rang in at 92 percent on his way to four catches (on eight targets) for 45 yards. Now with a health concern in tow, his status will be one to monitor as the week goes on. If he's able to suit up for Sunday's contest at Kansas City, Higbee won't be working with Matthew Stafford (concussion/neck). Instead, third-stringer Bryce Perkins likely will be under center, as he's slated to get the bulk of the first-team reps this week while No. 2 quarterback John Wolford works his way back from a stiff neck.

Four catches in Week 11 loss Higbee brought in four of eight targets for 45 yards in the Rams' 27-20 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

Impact The veteran tight end tied for the team lead in receptions with Allen Robinson on what appeared to be a potentially big day in the making for the Rams passing attack before Matthew Stafford was forced back into concussion protocol. Higbee figures to remain busy no matter who's under center for Los Angeles in a Week 12 road battle against the Chiefs considering his elevated role in the absence of Cooper Kupp (ankle) for what could be the rest of the season.

Leading receiver in loss Higbee caught all eight of his targets for 73 yards in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Cardinals.

Impact With John Wolford getting the start in place of Matthew Stafford (concussion), Higbee produced his best numbers since he racked up 10 catches in Week 4 and led the Rams in receptions and receiving yards. An Arizona defense that's been vulnerable to tight ends all season was likely a large factor in Higbee's performance, but if Cooper Kupp (ankle) winds up missing more time after exiting Sunday's game in the fourth quarter, he could see a bigger role in the passing game again in Week 11 against the Saints.

Invisible in defeat Higbee failed to secure his lone target in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Buccaneers.

Impact After a solid first five weeks of the season serving as the secondary receiving option to Cooper Kupp, the wheels have fallen off for Higbee since, with just three receptions for 22 yards in the past three games. Despite being on the field for nearly 80 percent of the team's offensive snaps, Higbee only managed a single target, a worrying trend after being peppered with 48 targets in Weeks 1-5. The Rams' Week 10 opponent, Arizona, just gave up a 5-96-0 line to Noah Fant in Week 9, and Higbee managed 61 yards on four receptions against them in Week 3, giving fantasy managers hope for a rebound for the slumping tight end.

Drops potential long TD Higbee (neck) finished with two receptions on six targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 31-14 loss to the 49ers.

Impact Higbee had a rough go of things Sunday, starting with an injury scare after a big hit early in the contest. The 29-year-old was able to return to the field Sunday, but he dropped a wide-open pass late in the game that should have went for a long touchdown. After posting three double-digit target games through the first five weeks of the season, the veteran tight end has fallen off with just three receptions for 22 yards over his last two. Higbee could see his usage jump back up if Cooper Kupp (ankle) can't suit up for Sunday's tilt against Tampa Bay, as the Rams have very little receiving depth at any position in 2022.

Rams TE Tyler Higbee Suffers Neck Injury vs. 49ers, Returns From Locker Room Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee suffered a neck injury in the first quarter of Sunday’s matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.

OCTOBER 30, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Back in Sunday's game Higbee (neck) returned to Sunday's game against the 49ers, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

Impact At the end of a 10-yard catch on the Rams' second possession of the contest, Higbee appeared to be shaken up and was evaluated on the sideline before going to the locker room, where he was diagnosed with a neck injury. However, he was able to rejoin his teammates on the next drive, so he'll look to build upon his sparse receiving line for the final two-plus quarters.
