Higbee appears to have avoided serious knee injury

[dang]

I don’t think that is a given. I mean - no one is 100% on either roster at this point in the year. And it’s not like we can really quantify anything - I guess the question I’m really asking is whether we want someone gutting it out to get on the field when they aren’t as fast - strong - quick as they normally are.

I don’t know if that’s a Reggie Scott call or what. Does he just decide clear to play or not clear to play? Or are there layers of availability?

I heard Tony Gonzalez wants in (blue font).

I'll go with blanton. Not just healthy but only gonna get their worst cover guy.

The thing about Blanton is how smooth he looks. Looks like a sure thing when he gets that ball and he can move. I imagine Stafford is gonna put that ball on him a bit more in the SB. Big target like that you know it's coming.

Lets get him off of the couch and into a uniform ASAP!

He looks like he has potential to do bigger things than he had prior to the playoffs. Really impressed with him stepping up Sunday in a high pressure situation and not even flinching. Hope next year we occasionally see 12 personnel with him and Higs.

Definately impressed with his hands. Don’t recall seeing him drop a ball thrown his way so far.

Plus, he's just so damn big. Think he's 265 lbs ... would love to see him with the ball in the open field and a full head of steam.

Put him on a seam route up the middle and watch him rumble.

Higbee is one tough dude. If there's a chance he can go I am sure he'll give it a shot.

Whether or not he plays though this is a crazy big moment for Blanton. Rams gonna need him.

I thought he looked slow. But I’m happy the Rams have him. You don’t need speed yo catch the ball.

Trying to jinx him? Come on man!

Uzomah has a sprained MCL also. He’s atill hopeful of playing in the Super Bowl. I wouldn’t mind if he can’t play. He’s a good weapon for Burrow.

That’s what the “so far” was for.

Looking like higbee will be a no go. Looks like Uzomah will push through his injury and play which looked as bad as Higbees did. Loved Blantons step up but would love to see a healthy Higbee out there. If Uzomah is hampered it may play to our advantage.

I guess the week will play out and who knows maybe they both limp through the game.

 

[Merlin]

That sucks. Higs has been a key piece for us. Hope Blanton is ready to have the game of his life.

 

[OntarioRam]

If Higbee (and Woods) are our only injured players, we are in pretty good shape. Hard to ask for much better. Everybody is missing players if they advance this far. Except, apparently, the Bengals!

We should be able to beat the Bengals without Higbee, but hopefully he can go. If we lose, his absence is unlikely to be the reason why.

Blanton has looked good when pressed into duty. We have to pray he stays healthy until the end now. The Rams need more TE depth.

 

[Mojo Ram]

I'm not seeing anything definitive as far as reliable sources that Higs will or won't play.

My guess is he's day-to-day and the Rams aren't going to reveal his status for Sunday.

Wait where did you see Uzomah practicing? As of right now it looks like a no go for both.
