Overview
- Los Angeles placed right tackle Rob Havenstein, tight end Tyler Higbee and defensive captain Quentin Lake on injured reserve, with Lake undergoing elbow surgery.
- IR designations sideline the trio for at least four games, pushing immediate depth changes during the Rams’ playoff push.
- Second-round rookie Terrance Ferguson is in line for more snaps at tight end alongside Davis Allen and Colby Parkinson, with coaches praising his growth.
- Warren McClendon is the internal option at right tackle, and analysts note this stretch could be his chance to claim a longer-term role.
- With both Havenstein and Higbee in contract years, multiple reports frame the moves as a possible end of an era for two of the team’s longest-tenured veterans.
