Coach Sean McVay said Tuesday that Everett is considered day-to-day with a knee injury, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Everett seemed to pick up the injury in Monday's loss to the Ravens, when he caught the turf and hyper-extended his knee. It's unclear exactly what he's dealing with, but the 2017 second-round pick played just 17 offensive snaps in Monday's game, catching both of his targets for 23 yards. The Rams head to Arizona for a divisional battle in Week 13, so expect Everett's practice availability shed a light on his chances to suit up in the game. If he can't go, expect Tyler Higbee and Johnny Mundt to man tight end duties.

Everett caught both of his targets for 23 yards during Monday's 45-6 loss to Baltimore.
EDGE Analysis
There have been signs of a breakout from Everett this season, including an eight-catch, 68-yard showing against Pittsburgh in Week 10. However, those games have been too few and far between to lock him in as a set-and-forget fantasy asset. Playing just 17 of 54 offensive snaps against the Ravens is also a sizable concern. While there's no denying Everett's potential, especially as a big-play threat, his value is capped with the Los Angeles offense trending in the wrong direction -- the Rams have scored just 35 points the past three games.

Everett caught his only target for 20 yards in Sunday's 17-7 win over the Bears.
EDGE Analysis
Despite Brandin Cooks (concussion) and Robert Woods (personal) being inactive, Everett couldn't draw Jared Goff's eye in this prime-time matchup. While Goff has been noticeably better at home this season, Everett's performance gets a boost on the road. The third-year pro has recorded 22 receptions for 276 yards (12.5 YPC) in five road games compared to 13 for 109 (8.4 YPC) over the same amount of home contests.

Everett (wrist) is listed as active Sunday versus the Bears, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Expected to play in spite of limited practice participation throughout Week 11 prep, Everett is available, along with fellow tight ends Tyler Higbee (knee) and Johnny Mundt (groin). Surprisingly, the Rams opted to hold out Robert Woods for an unknown reason, so two of the team's top three wide receivers -- also, Brandin Cooks (concussion) -- are sidelined. As a result, Everett could see an elevated target count in this contest.

Everett (wrist) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears.
EDGE Analysis
Everett was a limited practice participant throughout the week, with coach Sean McVay saying he expects the tight end to play. Position mates Tyler Higbee (knee) and Johnny Mundt (groin) also are listed as questionable, potentially creating a scenario where Everett takes on some extra snaps. Fantasy managers will want to check back in when the Rams release their inactive list approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff.

Everett (wrist) was listed as a limited practice participant Thursday, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Rams' entire tight end room is injured at the moment, with Tyler Higbee (knee) still sidelined at practice and Johnny Mundt (groin) showing up Thursday as limited. Per Cameron DaSilva of USA Today, coach Sean McVay expects both Everett and Higbee to play Sunday versus the Bears, but Friday's injury report will reveal their chances to do so.

Coach Sean McVay expects Everett (wrist) to suit up Sunday against the Bears, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
The same can be said for fellow tight end Tyler Higbee (knee). Limited by a wrist injury at Wednesday's practice, Everett will aim to get in a full practice Thursday and/or Friday to lend more credence to McVay's statement.

Everett (wrist) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM Radio reports.
EDGE Analysis
Everett is beginning to hit a bit more on a weekly basis. Helped along by double-digit targets three times in the last five games and 8.2 looks per game over the last six, he's posted a 28-322-2 line during that stretch. Considering he fit in some activity while Tyler Higbee (knee) did not Wednesday, Everett is the healthier of the Rams' top two tight ends.

Everett caught eight of 12 targets for 68 yards in Sunday's 17-12 loss to the Steelers.
EDGE Analysis
Once center Brian Allen left the game in the second quarter with a knee injury, the Rams' offense focused on quick passes to protect Jared Goff, and as a result Everett wound up leading the team in catches and targets, with both figures being season highs for the tight end. If the o-line is at less than full strength again next week, Everett could again be heavily involved against a Bears defense that's been fairly vulnerable to TEs this season.

Everett caught two of his three targets for just 15 yards during Sunday's 24-10 win over Cincinnati.
EDGE Analysis
While the third-year tight end has been a little inconsistent the past five weeks, he's still totaled a respectable 20 receptions for 254 yards and two touchdowns. The next step for Everett is becoming a factor week in, week out. Being limited to 32 offensive snaps Sunday definitely contributed to his poor showing, but it was probably just a blip on the radar. Everett topped 50 snaps in five of the previous six games, after all.
