Rams' Tyler Higbee: Tending to thumb injury
Coach Sean McVay said Monday that Higbee "got his thumb banged up a little bit" during Sunday's overtime victory at Indianapolis, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
After a week in which he tended to an Achilles injury and also signed a three-year extension, Higbee didn't look worse for wear Sunday, gathering in five of 11 targets for 64 yards and no touchdowns while playing 94 percent of the offensive snaps. It'll be interesting to see how the Rams list the tight end on their first Week 5 injury report Wednesday, but the aforementioned workload implies he's still good for his typical workload on game days.

Rams' Tyler Higbee: Paces team in targets
Higbee (Achilles) secured five of 11 targets for 64 yards during Sunday's 29-23 overtime win against the Colts.
Despite landing on the injury report early in the week with a dreaded Achilles injury, a freshly-extended Higbee showed no signs of a slowdown as he was peppered with targets from Matthew Stafford all game long. The only thing missing from the veteran tight end's resume this season is a touchdown, but Higbee hasn't seen the end zone much through his career (20 career touchdowns in 114 career games). With Cooper Kupp (hamstring) likely back soon, Higbee will likely find himself as more of a supporting role in the passing game behind the aforementioned Kupp, rookie phenom Puka Nacua, and Tutu Atwell, which may depress his value somewhat.

Rams' Tyler Higbee: Active in Week 4
Higbee (Achilles) is listed as active Sunday in Indianapolis, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Fresh off a season-high 71 yards on five targets last Monday at Cincinnati, Higbee wasn't able to practice until Friday's limited session due to an Achilles injury. In the midst of it all, he and the Rams agreed to a three-year, $27 million extension Friday, but his status for Week 4 remained in question until Sunday morning. With his availability now confirmed, Higbee will aim to uphold the recent investment made in him against a Colts defense that has conceded the 10th-most yards per target (7.9) to opposing tight ends in the current campaign.

Rams' Tyler Higbee: Likely to play vs. Colts
Higbee (Achilles) is expected to play Sunday against the Colts, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Higbee barely practiced this week due to the Achilles injury and is listed as questionable, but the veteran tight end looks poised to avoid the Rams' inactive list, which will be released 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. The 30-year-old received some long-term security Friday, in the form of a three-year deal worth a guaranteed $17 million. Higbee has yet make much of an imprint in the box score this season, catching 11 passes for 132 scoreless yards.

Rams' Tyler Higbee: Lands three-year extension
Higbee (Achilles) agreed to a three-year, $27 million contract extension with the Rams on Friday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Higbee is one of the Rams' three remaining starters from the Jeff Fisher era and previously was scheduled for free agency this coming spring. A top-heavy roster with an older quarterback means talk of a rebuild may spark up again this offseason if the current season doesn't go well for the Rams, but Higbee now looks to be part of the franchise's future even if that happens. While he's never come close to matching his torrid finish to the 2019 season -- 522 yards on 56 targets the final five weeks -- Higbee is prized by the Rams because he's one of the few tight ends in the league that can truly claim competence as a pass catcher, run blocker and pass blocker. As for the immediate future, he missed practice Wednesday and Thursday with an Achilles injury, creating some question about his status for Sunday's game at Indianapolis.

Rams' Tyler Higbee: Questionable for Week 4
Higbee (Achilles) will practice Friday as a limited participant and will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.
Head coach Sean McVay revealed Higbee's Week 4 game status Friday just a few minutes after the team announced that the tight end agreed to a three-year contract extension that guarantees him $17 million. The new contract and the questionable designation are both strong hints that Higbee isn't expected to miss much time with the Achilles issue, if any, and it also means he'll likely be back with the Rams in 2024 even if they dive into a rebuild. If Higbee can't play this week, Brycen Hopkins likely would fill in as the starter and might even have an every-down role, given McVay's preference for a lack of diversity in personnel groupings. Rookie fifth-round pick Davis Allen is the other tight end on the roster.

Rams' Tyler Higbee: Sits out another practice
Higbee (Achilles) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Higbee has kicked off Week 4 prep with consecutive absences from practice due to an Achilles injury. With just one more chance to practice this week, another absence may spur the Rams to rule him out ahead of Sunday's game at Indianapolis. If Higbee is limited or sidelined this weekend, Brycen Hopkins, Davis Allen and potentially practice-squad member Nikola Kalinic could be bigger parts of the Rams offense.

Rams' Tyler Higbee: Questionable for Sunday
Higbee (Achilles) will return to practice Friday as a limited participant and be listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Indianapolis, Stu Jackson of the team's official site reports.
Coach Sean McVay revealed Higbee's game status Friday just a few minutes after the team announced a contract extension with the tight end. It's a strong hint Higbee isn't expected to miss much time with the Achilles issue, if any, and also means he'll likely be back with the Rams next year even if they dive into a rebuild. If Higbee can't play this week, Brycen Hopkins likely would fill in as the starter and might even have an every-down role given McVay's preference for a lack of diversity in personnel groupings. Rookie fifth-round pick Davis Allen is the other tight end on the roster.

Rams' Tyler Higbee: Tending to Achilles injury
Higbee was a non-participant in Wednesday's walk-through session due to an Achilles injury.
The Rams' passing attack has been dominated by rookie fifth-round pick Puka Nacua (oblique) with Cooper Kupp (hamstring) on injured reserve to start the season, but Higbee has been a nice complementary piece with two games of 40-plus yards, including 71 during Monday's loss in Cincinnati. Unfortunately for Higbee, he's tending to an Achilles injury, which could put him at risk of missing Sunday's game at Indianapolis. The Rams will see if Higbee can get back on the practice field in some capacity Thursday and Friday before potentially giving him a designation heading into the weekend.
