Rams tight end Gerald Everett only played 17 snaps on Monday night against the Ravens, his second-fewest of the season. It seemed like he simply wasn’t a big part of the game plan, but he actually suffered an injury in the first half.
While blocking Matt Judon on a sack of Jared Goff, Everett hyperextended his knee. It looked like a significant injury, but it’s not believed to be one that sidelines him for a while. Sean McVay shared an update on Everett during his press conference on Tuesday, calling him day-to-day.
“Seems like we came out of the game pretty clean,” McVay began. “There was a situation earlier on in the game where Gerald might’ve tweaked his knee a little bit. He’ll be day-to-day. It was when he was in a protection and kind of just buckled his knee.”
Everett was never ruled out or questionable to return, which was a good sign for the tight end’s health. However, Tyler Higbee dominated the playing time at tight end from there on, playing 70% of the snaps.
Everett will have one fewer day to recover this week with the Rams having played on Monday night, but hopefully he’ll be available against the Cardinals in Week 13.
