Rams Designate TE Tyler Higbee To Return

The Rams announced that they are designating TE Tyler Higbee to return from the physically unable-to-perform list.

Higbee was placed on the list at the start of the season after suffering a torn ACL late last year.

Higbee, 31, was drafted by the Rams in the fourth round out of Western Kentucky in 2016. He signed a four-year $2.92 million rookie contract, including a $580,860 signing bonus.

Higbee was entering the final year of his deal when he signed a four-year, $29 million extension with the Rams. He was slated to make a base salary of $6.25 million in 2023 when he signed another three-year, $27 million extension. 

In 2023, Higbee appeared in 15 games for the Rams and caught 47 passes on 70 targets for 495 yards receiving and two touchdowns.
