Rams TE Tyler Higbee was knocked out of Monday night's Wild Card win over the Vikings with a chest injury. HC Sean McVay said afterward that Higbee was taken to the hospital. "He s in stable condition," McVay added. "It was something with his chest. I think he s gonna be okay. What does that mean, in terms of his status moving forward, I don t know." Higbee seems unlikely to be ready for Sunday's game vs. the Eagles. He was busy before going down against Minnesota, catching all five of his targets across two possessions. His absence would leave the Rams with TEs Davis Allen, Colby Parkinson, and Hunter Long.
Allen saw additional run in the offense after Tyler Higbee left after the team's second possession. Higbee would be immediately deemed doubtful to return with a chest injury before being ruled out for the remainder of the game at halftime, something that could provide more run for both Colby Parkinson and Davis Allen in the Divisional Round against the Eagles.
