The Los Angeles Rams have placed three starters on injured reserve, guaranteeing they will miss the next four games: DB Quentin Lake, TE Tyler Higbee, and RT Rob Havenstein.
Havenstein has struggled this season and previously missed a stint of three games. Warren McClendon filled in for the veteran and performed at or above the level we are accustomed to seeing from Havenstein this year.
Higbee’s injury likely creates challenges for the Rams’ usage of heavier personnel, as they’ve often deployed packages that utilize two and three tight ends with increased frequency this season. Terrance Ferguson, Davis Allen, and Colby Parkinson are currently on the roster, though the Rams could elevate Mark Redman or Nick Muse from the practice squad to add to the room.
