Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee has suffered a torn ACL and MCL in his right knee, according to head coach Sean McVay. Higbee sustained the injury during the fourth quarter of the Rams' 24-23 loss to the Detroit Lions in the wild-card round. The extent of the damage requires surgery to repair.

Speaking about Higbee's injury, McVay noted that the timing late in the season makes it likely that the tight end will be placed on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list. McVay did not provide a specific timeline for Higbee's return, as the recovery and rehabilitation process would depend on the nature of the damage found during surgery.

In his 15 games this season, Higbee recorded 47 catches for 495 yards and two touchdowns, highlighting his importance to the Rams' offense. Despite the setback, McVay expressed confidence in Higbee's resilience and praised his contributions to the team.

The Rams already have tight ends Davis Allen and Hunter Long signed for the 2024 season, providing potential depth in Higbee's absence.

Additionally, McVay confirmed that running back Kyren Williams underwent surgery on Tuesday to address a broken bone in his left hand. No further details were provided regarding the expected recovery timeline for Williams.

The Rams will now have to adjust their lineup as they continue their postseason campaign. They face the challenge of overcoming the absence of Higbee and Williams, who have both played instrumental roles in the team's success this season.

Our thoughts are with Higbee and Williams as they undergo their respective recoveries, and we wish them a swift and successful return to the field.
