Seems like more high is likely.
McVay provided additional medical context regarding the injury:

Silver lining is now Klare will get some real meaningful reps that could come in handy in December/January.
Silver lining is Higbee is better than Fergs. Keeping Higs healthy will be the real trick.
Klare talk in the week 4 thread and now here!
When will he get some snaps? I guess they have to start soon with a handful and see how he does. He showed good hands in preseason. He was getting reps as the inline blocker. I think they would need to start him more like Ferguson as the move TE.

Higs is the better TE , But not better (H-Back) long ball type threat. 2 Different animals.
I know the kids still got some growin to do. But it's kinda like sayin
Ernie Conwell was better than Pete Holohan.(H-Back) JMO
Warning Tangent-
Holohan Only played one year under one of the greatest offensive minds in NFL history.
Don "Air" Coryell I just wonder if Coryell was the creator of the H-Back position?

My Gosh what a offense!
Nah i disagree. Fergs has a bit more speed to get deep quicker than Higs, but in terms of hands, body control…nope. Fergs hasn’t passed the eye test for me yet. Shallow or deep.
It'll be real interesting how McV deploys the TE’s with Fergs out. Parks needs to get healthy quick.

The Immaculate Exception
Someone on this board once said TEs take a few seasons to develop into an Elite player. Ferg still gots time, but lets start developing our other options and get them up to speed. Simple.
I saw every snap of Ferguson in college. Stafford has missed him as much as Ferg has mishandled passes. He'll be a very good weapon going forward. If they had taken Sadiq in the first, then an OT in the second, we'd be much better off TODAY. Worry about the QB when you have to. Sorry, didn't mean to dredge up draft arguments from last year.
Yet every year we see some young TEs outperforming our young TEs and some of them have been quite excellent early.
Those fast starters are out there and the Rams have drafted a TE in the 2nd round THREE times in the McVay era. They just haven’t picked one of those TEs who come in shining.
…maybe Klare can step up and begin a great career tomorrow.
Of COURSE the 2026 Rams would be better had we drafted Sadiq or ANYONE really over Simpson. This is well known. Thats not the argument.
I'm trying to remember when a rookie got any meaningful snaps under McVay.
Maybe I'm wrong but I can't remember any
Edit;
Mugmeister pointed out four good examples of rookies getting significant snaps below.

Guess you forgot Puka, Avila, Young, Speights unless that's not recent enough for you
Good point. They say memory is the first thing to go.
Other than Avila and Young I'm pretty sure they were worked into the rotation. But that counts.
Maybe that'll work for Klare, hopefully.
It's well known that McVay requires a lot from his TEs. Blocking, proper spacing, and complicated play calling. It takes time to learn everything. Here is a quote from McVay about getting Klare reps in practice and some PT. He had some good reps in preseason and is getting more in practice. He needs to step in and up because of the injuries. He can take some of the load off the others and be more prepared should another injury occur.
Sean McVay Hints at Bigger Role for Rams Rookie TE Max Klare Against Eagles
The Los Angeles Rams could be thin at the tight end position in Week 4 against the Philadelphia Eagles as Terrance Ferguson and Colby Parkinson manage injuries.

“I've seen a guy that's maximized a lot of opportunities in practice and done some things on special teams,” said McVay. “He hasn't taken quite as many reps just because of the top four guys for the most part being available. But this week will represent an opportunity for him to be able to get some reps and maybe get some good game-time action for us.”
Park his ass underneath and across the middle for Stafford to have a dumpoff option. Maybe that will help settle 9 down.
