Higbee missed out on the team’s victory over the Arizona Cardinals last week on Monday Night Football due to a positive COVID test and is now in jeopardy of missing the team’s Week 15 matchup with the Seattle Seahawks on Tuesday. The tight end was activated from the list on Tuesday following what was likely a false positive after returning numerous negative tests following the lone positive that kept him out last week. A positive test on Friday has returned him to the list, which may force him out of a second consecutive game.
Higbee has made 44 receptions on 62 targets for 395 yards and three touchdowns in 12 games this season. If he cannot go on Tuesday, expect backup tight end Kendall Blanton to make his second career start.
The Los Angeles Rams are currently 5.5-point favorites against the Seattle Seahawks on Tuesday, with the total set at 45.5, per the FanDuel Sportsbook.
