The Rams have been without Gerald Everett for nearly a month now after he injured his knee in Week 12 against the Ravens. Tyler Higbee has had at least seven catches and 100 yards in each game Everett has missed, so the Rams haven’t been lacking production at tight end.
It appears Everett is poised to return relatively soon, though. He was a full participant in practice on Wednesday, which is the first time he’s been listed as such since before suffering the injury.
That doesn’t mean he’s on track to play Saturday against the 49ers, but it is a good sign for the progress he’s made. Sean McVay said the Rams are still “kind of feeling it out,” indicating Everett still needs to get healthier before he returns.
“We will see how today goes, and then, I will be able to have a better idea once we actually get a physical practice in and see what that looks like,” he said. “Part of that too, is as we complete the game plan and kind of figure out exactly what that looks like and what his involvement would be, if he is feeling good enough.”
As for the rest of the injury report, Troy Hill and Greg Zuerlein were non-participants in practice Wednesday. Their availability for Saturday’s game remains up in the air after both were injured against the Cowboys in Week 15.
Jared Goff was a full participant and appears to be fine. He has a contusion that left his thumb “a little stiff,” but there doesn’t seem to be much concern about his health.
