Higbee has been dealing with a hip injury lately and was out of the team's Week 5 game against the San Francisco 49ers. He returned to action in Week 6 and was in sensational form vs. the Baltimore Ravens, catching four passes for 40 yards and a touchdown.
Rams head coach Sean McVay praised Higbee, calling him 'special'. "He’s a special and a rare human," he said.
"He's got this great aura about himself and great vibe. It’s why he's so revered by his teammates. He has just an incredible awareness and he loves the game. You talk about a guy that just enjoys competing, understands how to elevate and press the right buttons with his teammates. His celebrations are always great too. I loved the one that he had yesterday. I thought he made the most of his four opportunities that he had in the pass game. I think that's always good for us. I thought he competed well without the ball, even though our snaps were kind of minimal offensively. I thought he did a hell of a job.

He's a special, special guy. I love him. He’s picked up in terms of that positive impact where he left off and he feels like he's playing fresh. I thought he played his most complete game yesterday," he added.
Higbee was absent for most of the 2024 season due to an ACL tear. He had a slow start in 2025, but has found his footing since then.
