Rams head coach Sean McVay said last week that he expected tight end Tyler Higbee to make his 2024 debut against the Jets in Week 16 and the path is now clear for that to happen.
The Rams announced on Tuesday that Higbee has been activated from the physically unable to perform list. Higbee has spent the entire season on the PUP list while working his way back from the torn ACL and MCL he suffered in the 2023 postseason.
Higbee had 47 catches for 495 yards and two touchdowns last season. He’ll join Colby Parkinson, Davis Allen, and Hunter Long as the tight ends on the roster.
The Rams opened a roster spot for Higbee by placing linebacker Nick Hampton on injured reserve. Hampton had three tackles while seeing almost all of his time on special teams.
