Rams' Tyler Higbee Set to Return After Extensive Knee and Shoulder Rehab

The veteran tight end will play his first game in nearly a year as the Rams face the Jets, following months of grueling recovery from dual surgeries.

Tyler Higbee, a ninth-year veteran for the Rams, will return to action against the Jets after an 11-month recovery from major knee and shoulder surgeries.
Higbee sustained ACL, MCL, and meniscus injuries during last season's playoff loss to the Lions and later underwent a separate shoulder surgery.
Throughout his rehabilitation, Higbee remained connected to the team, attending meetings and games and serving as a supportive leader for younger players.
Teammates and coaches praised Higbee's perseverance and work ethic during his recovery, with quarterback Matthew Stafford calling his attitude 'infectious.'
Higbee's return bolsters the Rams' tight end group as the team leads the NFC West and aims to secure a playoff spot with three games remaining.
