Rams Designate Tyler Higbee to Return From IR as Playoffs Near

The designation triggers a 21-day clock for a possible activation to the 53-man roster.

Overview

  • Los Angeles made the roster move Wednesday, opening his 21-day practice window under NFL rules.
  • The team must activate him within that period or he will stay on injured reserve for the remainder of the season.
  • Higbee has been sidelined since a Week 12 ankle injury and has missed six games.
  • Reporting indicates he could be eligible for Week 18 at Arizona, with a Wild Card return viewed as more realistic.
  • Sean McVay has leaned on multiple tight ends and increased 13 personnel usage, leaving Higbee’s role uncertain if he returns.
