The Facts: Higbee, ruled out of Sunday's NFC Championship win over the 49ers with a knee injury, appears to have avoided any significant damage, a source tells NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Diehards Line: That said, his availability for the Super Bowl will be up in the air and decided over the next two weeks. ... Higbee caught 61 passes for 560 yards with five touchdowns during the regular season and has been stellar in the playoffs with nine receptions for 115 yards.

Blanton almost doubled his production in the regular season with five catches for 57 yards. We'll follow up as needed.
