There was hope that he could return for Week 14 against the Buffalo Bills but Sean McVay’s update on Monday threw cold water on that idea. McVay said that while Higbee has exceeded everyone’s expectations in his rehab and recovery from a significant knee injury, he most likely won’t be ready to go this week, either.

Tyler Higbee has been sidelined since tearing his ACL and MCL in the Los Angeles Rams' playoff loss to the Detroit Lions in January. It's been a long road but the veteran tight end finally returned to practice for the first time last week.

The Los Angeles Rams opened the practice window for tight end Tyler Higbee – who is recovering from a torn ACL he suffered last season – this week.  While that’

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (knee) is unlikely to take the field for the Week 14 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. On Monday, head coach Sean McVay said Higbee's chances of suiting up were less than likely for Sunday's game.

The Seattle Seahawks were defeated 26-20 by the Los Angeles Rams in Week 9. The NFC West rematch is scheduled for the regular-season finale in Week 18. The Rams may be near full strength for that contest, with tight end Tyler Higbee returning to practice earlier this week.

Higbee tore his ACL in the Rams’ playoff loss to the Detroit Lions in January and underwent surgery to repair the injury. He has missed all 11 of the Rams’ games this year, but has slowly been making progress with the medical staff on the sidelines rehabbing his injury while still being a vocal leader in the locker room.

For fantasy purposes, there's no reason to consider rostering or starting Higbee. Rams head coach Sean McVay said the nine-year vet is still a "couple of weeks away" from his return. Even if he makes it back on the field by Week 15, he'll likely see a ramp-up in activity and may not have a full workload until after Week 17.
