Tyler Higbee, tight end for the Los Angeles Rams, is currently dealing with a hip injury. This has raised questions about his availability for the upcoming game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, scheduled for Sunday. Last week, he was sidelined during the Rams’ match against the San Francisco 49ers due to this injury.
Higbee’s Week 7 Status
As of now, Higbee has not participated in practice and remains listed on the injury report. His game status was not detailed in the latest update.
Recent Performance
In the current NFL season, Higbee has accumulated 10 receptions for 102 yards and one touchdown. He averages 20.4 receiving yards per game. In Week 6, he made a strong comeback against the Baltimore Ravens, recording four catches for 40 yards and a score.
Coaches’ Praise
Rams head coach Sean McVay has commended Higbee’s performance and character. McVay described Higbee as a “special” player, highlighting his competitive spirit and ability to connect with teammates. His contributions, both with and without the ball, have been significant despite limited offensive snaps in recent games.
Looking Ahead
Higbee’s absence from the majority of the 2024 season due to an ACL tear initially hindered his performance this year. However, he seems to be regaining form as the season progresses. Fans and coaches alike regard him as a vital player, and his status will be closely watched as the Rams prepare to face the Jaguars.
