Tyler Higbee - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Hauls in long catch vs. Carolina Higbee caught two passes (on three targets) for 45 yards during the Rams' 34-31 win over the Panthers during Saturday's NFC wild-card game.

Impact Higbee brought in a 36-yard pass from Matthew Stafford midway through the second quarter to put the Rams in Panthers territory, leading to a 46-yard field goal from Harrison Mevis four plays later. Higbee played 39 of 76 offensive snaps (51.3 percent), which was second most among Rams tight ends behind Colby Parkinson (57 snaps), and the former finished third on the team in receiving yards behind Puka Nacua (111) and Davante Adams (72). Terrance Ferguson was inactive for the wild-card round due to a hamstring injury, so Higbee and Parkinson would operate as the Rams' top tight ends for the divisional round if Ferguson is not cleared to play.

Clear for wild-card round Higbee (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Saturday's wild-card game in Carolina, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Higbee kicked off the week listed as limited on injury reports Tuesday and Wednesday due to the ankle issue that sidelined him Weeks 12-17, but he ended it with a full practice Thursday, paving the way for him to play in the Rams' playoff opener. In his return from injured reserve this past Sunday against the Cardinals, he ranked third among L.A. tight ends in snap share (64 percent) but still put up 91 yards and one touchdown on five catches (six targets). With rookie TE Terrance Ferguson (hamstring) questionable for Saturday, Higbee, Colby Parkinson and Davis Allen appear poised to handle most of the reps at the position this weekend, even if Ferguson is active.

Feature: 'Everybody calls him a glue guy, probably an understatement': Tyler Higbee's return impacts Rams on and off the field Rams tight end Tyler Higbee returned to the field with a flourish in Week 18, setting season-highs in catches (five) and yards (91).

Remains limited in practice Higbee (ankle) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact In his return from a six-game IR stint this past Sunday against the Cardinals, Higbee hauled in five of six targets for 91 yards and one touchdown on a 64 percent snap share, the latter of which ranked third among Rams tight ends behind Colby Parkinson (84 percent) and Davis Allen (71 percent). Higbee continues to deal with the ankle injury, but he at least maintained his activity level from Tuesday's walkthrough. Thursday's practice report will reveal whether or not he enters the weekend with a designation for Saturday's contest at Carolina.

Limited to begin practice week Higbee (ankle) was a full participant in Tuesday's walkthrough, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The ankle injury had kept Higbee out of action for six consecutive games before the veteran tight end was reinstated from injured reserve ahead of this past Sunday's regular-season finale versus Arizona. Higbee delivered an impressive performance in his return, finishing with five catches for 91 yards and a touchdown on six targets in the Rams' 37-20 win. The Rams didn't indicate that Higbee suffered any sort of setback during Sunday's contest, so his limitations to begin the week of practice are likely just maintenance-related. Higbee is expected to be ready to go for Saturday's wild-card game at Carolina, though he may take more of a back seat in the passing game with wideout Davante Adams (hamstring) on track to play in that contest after missing the final three games of the regular season.

He'll now look to build off of this performance when the Rams travel to face the Panthers in the wild-card round Saturday.

Back in action in Week 18 Higbee (ankle) is active for Sunday's game versus the Cardinals, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

Impact Higbee suffered an ankle injury during a Week 11 matchup with the Seahawks and promptly landed on injured reserve. He proceeded to miss six consecutive games as a result, but after the Rams designated him for return from IR on Wednesday, he logged three straight full listings before the team tagged him as questionable for Week 18 action. Now that he's confirmed to be available Sunday, Higbee will mix back in to an offense that has used 13 personnel consistently for much of the season. Colby Parkinson, Davis Allen and Nick Vannett will be the other TEs available to Los Angeles with Terrance Ferguson (hamstring) inactive.

Activated from injured reserve The Rams activated Higbee (ankle) from injured reserve Saturday.

Impact Higbee is still listed as questionable for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Cardinals, though his activation from IR indicates that the veteran tight end will play for the first time since Week 11 after recovering from an ankle injury. The timing is fortunate for the Rams, given that Terrance Ferguson (hamstring) popped up on Saturday's injury report and is now listed as doubtful for Week 18. If Ferguson is ruled out, then Higbee and Colby Parkinson would operate as the Rams' top tight ends for Sunday's NFC West tilt. Prior to his injury, Higbee caught 20 passes (on 30 targets) for 190 yards and two touchdowns across nine regular-season games.

Impact Higbee had his 21-day practice window opened Wednesday and has been a full participant since, but it's possible that Los Angeles will prioritize having the veteran tight end ready for the playoffs rather than Week 18 of the regular season. Whenever Higbee is activated to the 53-man roster, he will rejoin a tight end rotation in which he, Colby Parkinson, Terrance Ferguson and Davis Allen all stand to remain regular contributors.

Full again Thursday Higbee (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact The Rams opened Higbee's 21-day practice window Wednesday, perhaps getting him ready for the playoffs rather than Week 18 against the Cardinals. Los Angeles has four tight ends that it uses regularly, including Higbee, Colby Parkinson, Terrance Ferguson and Davis Allen.

Listed as full participant Higbee (ankle) is listed as a full participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact The Rams merely held a walkthrough but apparently consider Higbee ready for full practice participation -- a step he may take in earnest Thursday afternoon. This hints at a return from injured reserve when first eligible Sunday against Arizona.

DECEMBER 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Practice window opens The Rams announced Wednesday that Higbee (ankle) has been designated to return from IR.

Impact Higbee will now begin a 21-day window wherein he can participate in practice without counting against the 53-man roster. The veteran tight end can be activated from IR at any point in that span, if deemed healthy, making Sunday's game against the Cardinals his earliest tentative chance to return. Higbee hasn't played since Week 11, and across 11 regular-season appearances so far he's secured 20 of 30 targets for 190 yards and two touchdowns.
