Rams star tight end Tyler Higbee has been placed on Injury Reserve, officially ruling him out for Sunday's Super Bowl LVI.
The 29-year-old sprained his MCL in the win over the 49ers during the NFC Championship Game and was subsequently listed as a non-participant in multiple practices reports. Coach Sean McVay was doubtful that Higbee would be able to practice at all this week, saying on Monday, “He's been such a big part of this team and he's one of those glue guys on this team and I know he's going to do everything in his power, but if not, he's led that room—he and [tight ends coach] Wes Phillips have led that room so well—and those other guys will be ready to step up.
