Tyler Higbee suffered a knee injury in the NFC Championship Game against the San Francisco 49ers in January, which forced him to miss Super Bowl LVI. It was a devastating blow for not only the Los Angeles Rams, but for the tight end himself.
Higbee is a critical part of the offense and a leader on the field as the starting tight end, so not having him out there against the Cincinnati Bengals made the Rams’ path to a championship that much tougher.
Higbee was in pain physically and emotionally after being forced to miss the big game, but the Rams winning a ring made him feel a bit better.
