Rams TEs Terrance Ferguson (ankle) and TE Colby Parkinson (knee, shoulder) were sidelined for Wednesday's practice. Ferguson is expected to miss this weekend's game vs. the Eagles, and Parkinson might join him on the inactive list. That'd leave Tyler Higbee as the Rams' top TE, but the matchup vs. the Eagles and the return of WR Puka Nacua would still leave him short of TE1 appeal.
Rams TE Terrance Ferguson suffered a medial ankle sprain in Sunday night's loss to the Broncos and will likely miss Week 4, HC Sean McVay said. TE Colby Parkinson sprained the AC joint in his shoulder vs. Denver but is considered "day to day," per McVay, seemingly giving him a chance to play this weekend. TE Tyler Higbee stepped up to catch 8 of 11 targets for 62 yards and a score with the Rams undermanned vs. the Broncos. He could be a desperation option for fantasy teams if Parkinson joins Ferguson on the sidelines this Sunday, though a tough matchup against the Eagles limits his upside.
For the third straight week to open the season, the Rams had a different scoring leader at TE. Davis Allen led the room in Week 1, Terrance Ferguson did it in Week 2, and Tyler Higbee took over in Week 3. Higbee hauled in eight of 11 targets for 62 yards and a TD, good for a TE1 finish in Week 3.
Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated writes that the Rams think TE Terrance Ferguson could "grow into one of the NFL's best tight ends." Per Breer, Ferguson put together a "fantastic offseason," showcasing the versatility to play multiple alignments and the run-after-catch skills the Rams covet.
The Los Angeles Rams selected Ohio State TE Max Klare in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Klare broke out as a redshirt sophomore at Purdue in 2024, leading the team in all major receiving categories and registering a strong 30.9% dominator rating. His 2.22 yards per route ranked 11th among 85 FBS WRs with 30+ targets. Klare transferred to Ohio State for the 2025 campaign and wasn’t as productive playing behind first-round WR Carnell Tate and future first-round WR Jeremiah Smith. But Klare finished third on the Buckeyes in catches (43) and receiving yards (448). The 6’4, 246-pounder is a well-rounded TE. He ran 47% of his college routes from the slot and 43% inline. Klare creates mismatches with his burst, runs tight routes, and is a serviceable blocker. He doesn’t boast the upside of Kenyon Sadiq or Eli Stowers, but Klare can develop into a fantasy TE1.
Rams TE Terrance Ferguson (hamstring) put in a full week of practice and is off the final injury report for Sunday's Divisional Round game vs. the Bears. We're expecting the rookie to slot in third among Los Angeles' TEs in routes, behind Colby Parkinson and Tyler Higbee.
Rams TE Terrance Ferguson (hamstring) is inactive for today's game vs. the Panthers. That should leave Colby Parkinson and Tyler Higbee as the clear top two TEs in terms of pass routes, with Davis Allen the No. 3.
Rams TE Terrance Ferguson (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Saturday's Wild Card game vs. the Panthers. He only got in a limited practice on Thursday, after missing Week 18. Ferguson figures to slot in as Los Angeles' No. 3 TE behind Colby Parkinson and Tyler Higbee if he suits up this weekend. If not, Davis Allen will be the 3rd TE.
Rams TE Terrance Ferguson has been downgraded to doubtful for Sunday's game vs. the Cardinals due to a hamstring injury. He wasn't listed on Friday's final injury report, so the hamstring issue evidently popped up after practice. Ferguson will miss the regular season finale and now looks iffy for at least the playoff opener. TE Tyler Higbee has been activated from IR and will join Colby Parkinson and Davis Allen in the TE room vs. Arizona.
Rams TE Tyler Higbee (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Cardinals. He put in a full week of practice and is expected to be activated from IR, HC Sean McVay said Friday. Higbee has been out since Week 11 but led Rams TEs in routes (53%) and targets (30) before going down. He makes a crowded Rams TE room even more crowded for Week 18 and the playoffs.
The Rams placed TE Tyler Higbee on IR with the ankle injury he suffered in the Week 11 win over the Seahawks. He'll miss at least the next four games. Higbee has been leading Los Angeles' four-man TE platoon, running a route on 53% of pass plays this season. His absence frees up opportunities for TEs Terrance Ferguson, Colby Parkinson, and Davis Allen. Ferguson is the most intriguing of the trio but is no more than a deep-league bench stash for now.
If you watch the Rams regularly, then you might have noticed tight ends occupying more screen time in recent weeks. The team has increased its usage of "13" personnel (three TEs) and significantly increased the number of targets heading toward TEs in recent games. Four Rams tight ends caught at least two passes in Sunday's win over the Saints. Rookie Terrance Ferguson led the group (and ranked third on the team) with 54 receiving yards. Tyler Higbee snagged one of Matthew Stafford's 4 TD passes, Higbee's second scoring catch in three games.
After missing Week 5 with a hip injury, Rams TE Tyler Higbee returned in Week 6 for a 4-40-1 stat line. He led the team in TE snaps at 66%. TEs Davis Allen (39.6%) and Terrance Ferguson (32.1%) were well behind. With WR Puka Nacua on and off the field throughout the game with injury, Higbee had a solid role while catching all of his targets.
