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.
