A heart-wrenching loss for the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday could be felt in the 2024 season.
Tight end Tyler Higbee tore his ACL in the Rams' season-ending defeat against the Detroit Lions, ¹ú²úÍâÁ÷ÍøNetwork Insider Ian Rapoport reported Tuesday.
Higbee was hit low by Detroit safety Kerby Joseph in the second half. His leg bent at a horrible angle upon the hit and he was subsequently upended and came down on his head.
The 31-year-old Higbee just capped the eighth season of his career, all of them with the Rams, who selected him in the fourth round of the 2016 ¹ú²úÍâÁ÷ÍøDraft.
Early in the season, Higbee signed a two-year, $27 million extension through the 2025 season. He posted 47 receptions for 495 yards and two touchdowns in 2023. In Sunday's loss, Higbee had zero catches on one target.
