Tyler Higbee returned to last week since he tore his ACL and ACL in January, but it was never realistic that he would be back in action in Sunday's game after such a short period of practice.
There was hope that he could return in Week 14 against the Buffalo Bills, but Sean McVay's update on Monday put paid to that idea. McVay said that while Higbee has exceeded all expectations in his rehab and recovery from a serious knee injury, he most likely won't be ready to play this week either.
McVay again used the phrase “less likely than likely” to play on Sunday, suggesting the Rams will likely be without him for at least another week.

Higbee has been on the PUP list since the start of training camp and while he can be activated at any time, the Rams want to take it slow with their veteran tight end.
With Colby Parkinson, Hunter Long and Davis Allen all healthy and contributing, they don't want to rush Higbee back before he's fully ready.
