Tyler Higbee, who was taken to a local hospital in stable condition after suffering a chest injury during Los Angeles’ 27-9 wildcard win over Minnesota, was taken to a local hospital, head coach Sean McVay said in his postgame news conference.
“It was just something in his chest,” McVay said. “I think it’ll be fine.”
McVay said he was unsure of Higbee’s availability moving forward.
Higbee was clearly an important part of the game plan as the Rams used a lot of two tight ends early. Despite exiting the game in the first half, Higbee finished as the team’s leading receiver with 58 yards on five receptions.
Higbee recently returned from suffering a torn ACL and MCL during Los Angeles’ loss to Detroit last year.
McVay also noted that defensive back Ahkello Witherspoon suffered a hamstring injury.
After playing Monday night, the Rams will have a short week to prepare to face the Eagles in the divisional round on Sunday afternoon.
