The Los Angeles Rams came into Sunday having already declared Terrell Lewis out with a knee injury after originally listing him as doubtful Friday. That left Tyler Higbee as the only other starter who was questionable to play against the 49ers due to an elbow injury.
Higbee warmed up on the field as he normally would and wasn’t wearing a brace, and he’s officially active for the Rams in this pivotal NFC West showdown.
The Rams’ inactives are as follows: Lewis, Brian Allen, Trishton Jackson, Derek Rivers, Raymond Calais.
Rivers wasn’t expected to play this week after just being claimed off waivers last week. He’ll get acclimated before being active on game day, giving the edge rusher some time to learn Brandon Staley’s defense.
The other inactives aren’t surprising, with Allen being the only other player missing the game due to injury. He’s been dealing with a knee injury and was limited in practice all week.
Brycen Hopkins is active for just the second time this season, making this the first game where all four of the Rams’ tight ends have been active together.
