Tyler Higbee, the Rams starting tight end, suffered a right knee injury late in the first quarter and was deemed questionable to return.

By video, Higbee was run blocking when his right leg was rolled into from behind.

ProFootballDoc, Dr. David Chao, said Higbee appeared to suffer a right knee MCL sprain with a possible bone bruise as well.

Higbee is unlikely to return to the game, Chao said.

Kendall Blanton will fill in at tight end.
