Two Rams starters suffered injuries on Monday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, with Micah Kiser and Tyler Higbee both having to leave the game. For a team that’s dealt with several injuries in recent weeks, it’s the last thing they wanted as they make a playoff push.
Micah Kiser injured his knee on a tackle attempt in the hole, getting his leg crushed under a pile of bodies. He left the game with what the team called a knee injury and he’s unlikely to play Sunday against the 49ers, Sean McVay said.
Tyler Higbee also got hurt in the game, injuring his elbow in the second half. His injury isn’t as serious as Kiser’s, but there is also some concern about his availability for Week 12.
Rams LB Micah Kiser is "banged up, and I'd be very surprised if he's able to play this week," Sean McVay says. He has a knee injury.
TE Tyler Higbee has an elbow injury, but might play Sunday.

McVay told reporters that he’d be surprised if Kiser plays and isn’t sure how long the knee injury will keep him out.
In his place, Kenny Young is likely to take over as the top linebacker, but Troy Reeder will also factor in just as he did earlier this season when Kiser missed a game.
