INDIANAPOLIS — With tight ends up for their on-field workouts on Saturday afternoon, one player at that position for the Rams who came up this week was Tyler Higbee.

The Western Kentucky product played in all 16 games — starting seven — but was mainly used in a blocking role along the line. He finished the 2016 season with 11 receptions for 85 yards with a touchdown.

“It was interesting, Tyler started off real hot. In training camp he was a big weapon for us. But then he ran into a few injuries that set him back,” general manager Les Snead said.
