Rams activate Tyler Higbee and make 3 more roster moves for Week 18

Before Sunday’s regular season finale against the Arizona Cardinals, the Los Angeles Rams made four roster moves. The most notable was that Tyler Higbee was activated off IR and added to the 53-man roster, meaning the Rams had to make room for him.

To achieve this, they released defensive lineman Larrell Murchison, sending him to waivers. They could bring him back to the practice squad if he clears waivers, so his time in Los Angeles may not be over.

The Rams also used their two promotions to the practice squad, adding Jack Heflin and Tanner Ingle for Week 18. Both will return to the practice squad after Sunday’s game.

Higbee has been on IR since injuring his ankle in Week 11 and has missed the last six games. His return strengthens the Rams’ already deep tight end group, with Colby Parkinson, Davis Allen and Terrance Ferguson doing plenty of damage while Higbee was out.
