Back from knee and shoulder surgeries, Rams tight end Tyler Higbee will be active for the first time this season when L.A. visits the New York Jets on Sunday.

Three plays and 11 months after Higbee’s brutal injury, Matthew Stafford got the ball to him for an 11-yard touchdown. McVay and Stafford hinted that they called the specific play on purpose in the situation, with more than one option available against the look they got from the Jets defense.

At wide receiver, Puka Nacua led the way with an 81% snap share, followed by Cooper Kupp (77%) and Demarcus Robinson (73%). Sean McVay has been reluctant to get anyone else involved, giving Jordan Whittington only 12 snaps and Tutu Atwell 11.

Playing in his first game since sustaining a torn ACL 11 months ago, Tyler Higbee catches the go-ahead touchdown pass in the Rams' 19-9 comeback win.

Sean McVay said the Rams are still “working through” the plan at tight end, now that they have four guys who are eligible to be active on game day. Assuming Higbee isn’t a healthy scratch, it could be Davis Allen who becomes inactive on Sunday, with Colby Parkinson and Hunter Long being the other two tight ends.

The Los Angeles Rams improved to 9-6 with a 19-9 win over the New York Jets in Week 16, which saw tight end Tyler Higbee suit up for the first time this season.
