#Rams TE Tyler Higbee (hand) is pushing to play against the #Dolphins, but with the bye coming up and Johnny Mundt filling in capably, it might make sense to rest Higbee again and let him heal. Higbee could sit for those reasons.

Tyler Higbee is the only player on the Rams in danger of missing Sunday’s game due to injury, and according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the team may hold him out as a precaution.
Higbee has been dealing with a hand injury that forced him to miss Week 7 against the Bears. With the bye week coming next week, the Rams may keep Higbee on the sideline so as not to risk further injury and give him an extra week to rest.
Johnny Mundt and Gerald Everett did a nice job filling in for Higbee last week, so there’s no real rush to get him on the field. The Rams are capable of beating the Dolphins without Higbee, especially after seeing the way they handled the Bears last week.
This season, Higbee has 18 catches for 222 yards and three touchdowns. The Rams will release their list of inactive players for Sunday’s game 90 minutes before the 1 p.m. ET kickoff.
