Tight end Tyler Higbee will miss at least the first four games of the Rams' season.

This means Higbee will miss at least the first four games of the season. The Rams never bothered to feign during camp that Higbee was close to a return. It could be closer to mid-season before we begin to hear about him ramping up football activities. Free agent addition Colby Parkinson seems like the best pass-catching bet during Higbee's absence, though Davis Allen remains on the roster.

As expected, Tyler Higbee will be sidelined for at least the first four games of the season. The Rams tight end is being shifted to the reserve/PUP list, as noted by ESPN’s Adam Schefter. More to come…
