The Los Angeles Rams saw two of their offensive veterans, Tyler Higbee and Rob Havenstein, miss practice Monday following Sunday’s 27-20 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Both players were among the lowest-graded offensive performers in the game, highlighting ongoing concerns on the Rams’ offensive line and tight end corps.
Offensive Grades Highlight Struggles
According to Pro Football Focus, Havenstein allowed nine pressures in pass protection—tied for the most among all NFL linemen in week 4—and earned a 45.9 run-blocking grade, ranking ninth worst among offensive tackles. Higbee, meanwhile, caught just two of five targets for 25 yards, finishing with a grade of 59.3. Bottom-five offensive grades also included RG Kevin Dotson (62.5), WR Jordan Whittington (50.9), and RB Blake Corum (44.3).
Rams Injury Report Updates
Higbee played through a hip issue that had placed him on the injury report during the week, though his limited production suggests he remains off the fantasy radar. Havenstein, dealing with an ankle injury, missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday but was a limited participant on Friday. He was able to start at right tackle in Sunday’s matchup against the Colts, providing some stability to the offensive line despite lingering concerns.
LA has folded in more multi-tight end sets in their offense that have featured Davis Allen and Colby Parkinson. Rams 2025 first overall draft pick, Terrenace Ferguson, has played just 15 total snaps, most of which occurred in Week 2.
The Rams will need improved performances from both players to sustain offensive efficiency in the coming weeks.
