The Rams will once again be without Gerald Everett on Sunday against the Seahawks. Coach Sean McVay said on Friday that Everett has been ruled out as he continues to recover from a knee injury suffered two weeks ago against the Ravens.
Everett missed last week’s game against the Cardinals, as well.
Rob Havenstein is listed as doubtful with a knee injury, which has sidelined him since leaving Week 10’s loss. Everyone else is healthy for Sunday’s game against Seattle, though.
“We’ll rule Gerald Everett out today. With Rob, he’ll be listed as doubtful. Everyone else is good to go,” McVay said.
Everett has been considered day-to-day for the last two weeks, but he doesn’t seem to be making any progress. He hasn’t practiced at all, not even in a limited capacity. McVay was asked if it’s a long-term injury, but he couldn’t give a definitive answer.
“I’m not sure,” he said. “We have been day-to-day with him and he’s a skilled athlete so when you’re talking about something like the knee, you want to make sure he feels fully functional, able to put his foot in the ground and separate and we’re just not at that point yet. But that doesn’t mean he can’t make a turn quickly.”
Tyler Higbee will once again get the lion’s share of snaps at tight end this week, likely playing nearly every single snap. Everett has 37 catches for 408 yards, setting career-highs in both categories.
