Mon, 02 Jan 2012 22:39:45 -0800 Washington Redskins RB Tim Hightower said Monday, Jan. 2, that he wants to return. However, it is likely he will need to re-sign a one-year deal since he is coming off an injury. "It's very important, very important (to return)," Hightower said. "I love this organization.

Mon, 24 Oct 2011 12:17:18 -0700 Updating previous reports, Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan said RB Tim Hightower (knee) will miss the rest of the season after suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament in Week 7. Fantasy Tip: Shanahan's revolving door of running backs and the fantasy uncertainty that it caused on a weekly basis will now be toned down to just Ryan Torain and Roy Helu Jr. Torain, who was a huge disappointment in Week 7 with just two carries, fits the system the best, but Helu is a must own given Shanahan's lack of loyalty in a featured back. A straight split in carries is a very real possibility. Evan Royster could further complicate the situation if he's elevated from the practice squad.

Sun, 16 Oct 2011 16:01:23 -0700 Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan said Sunday, Oct. 16, that RB Tim Hightower (shoulder) will continue to be rested until he proves his shoulder is 100 percent. "As I told Tim before the game, if I had to have him, if somebody went down, he was going to play, but that was the only situation he would play," Shanahan said. "I thought was a little banged up. Still want to get him healthy, want him to be able to play at 100 percent."
Sun, 16 Oct 2011 15:59:35 -0700 Washington Redskins RB Ryan Torain posted just 22 rushing yards on 10 carries in Week 6 against the Philadelphia Eagles.

His power style is a mismatch for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Sun, 16 Oct 2011 08:44:32 -0700 Washington Redskins RB Tim Hightower (shoulder) is active and will be the team's starting running back against the Philadelphia Eagles during Week 6. Fantasy Tip: Mike Shanahan continues to play games with fantasy football players. We still anticipate Ryan Torain playing a large role today against the Eagles. Hightower may only be starting in name, but this just continues to show how volatile the Washington backfield is. Use caution.
Sat, 15 Oct 2011 05:46:24 -0700 There continues to be no indication from the Washington Redskins who will start at running back between RBs Tim Hightower and Ryan Torain for the team's Week 6 game. The best guess is that both will play a lot. Torain offers more power runs while Hightower is better in the screen game.

Mon, 10 Oct 2011 19:04:20 -0700 Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan declined to name a starting running back for the Week 6 game against the Philadelphia Eagles. "I'm going to play the best players and we'll see how these guys do," Shanahan said. "They have some great competition. As I said before, we have three backs (RBs Roy Helu Jr., Tim Hightower and Ryan Torain) that I really believe in." Shanahan said they'll see how practice goes and make a decision later this week.

Mon, 03 Oct 2011 10:18:14 -0700 Washington Redskins RB Tim Hightower said he is fine with competing with RBs Ryan Torain and Roy Helu Jr. for playing time because it will make him and the other running backs get better which will help the team.
Mon, 03 Oct 2011 10:11:54 -0700 Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan said he thought RB Tim Hightower looked sluggish during practice this week, which is why the team decided to put RB Ryan Torain into the game Week 4.

Sat, 01 Oct 2011 06:12:02 -0700 Washington Redskins RB Ryan Torain has yet to receive a carry in three games this season; however, if RB Tim Hightower struggles in Week 4, don't be surprised if he gets some carries.
