Los Angeles Rams left guard Steve Avila recently underwent his first surgery for a knee injury, finding inspiration in veteran tight end Tyler Higbee’s dedication to rehab after a similar injury. Higbee suffered a chest contusion during Monday’s playoff game but is expected to play against the Philadelphia Eagles in the divisional round. Other key players expected to participate include cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon, defensive tackle Bobby Brown III, and left tackle Alaric Jackson. Higbee’s impact goes beyond his on-field performance, as he serves as a role model for younger players like Avila, embodying the qualities of a Rams football player. Head coach Sean McVay confirmed Higbee’s participation in practice and praised his work ethic and leadership. The Rams have also opened the practice windows for linebacker Troy Reeder and defensive tackle Larrell Murchison to return from injured reserve. These players are crucial to the Rams’ success as they continue their playoff run. Higbee’s resilience and determination not only enhance the team’s performance but also inspire his teammates to give their all on and off the field.
