Tyler Higbee Injury: Rams TE Suffers Stinger Against 49ers, Returns

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee left the game with a stinger injury after his first catch, but returned in the second quarter.

By video, Higbee was tackled on a 10-yard catch and landed hard on his left arm/shoulder.

He exited the field holding his left arm, indicating he was likely dealing with a stinger, according to the Pro Football Docs. Higbee also took a helmet to the thigh, but that shouldn't keep him out.

If Higbee has no structural damage, he stands a good chance of returning. If Higbee can't finish, Brycen Hopkins will serve as tight end with Kendall Blanton a healthy scratch.

The Rams face the Buccaneers in Week 9.
