Tim Hightower out for rest of year

[BullheadCardFan]

From healthy, first-place surprise to battered and struggling, the Washington Redskins had their fortunes take another dive Monday when running back Tim Hightower was declared out for the season with a torn knee ligament and receiver Santana Moss underwent hand surgery that is expected to sideline him for 5-7 weeks.

Poor guy. He was heading into free agency too

Not to be a jerk, I feel bad for the dude and all, but doesn't this upgrade our draft pick slightly?

Nope..had to play in 60% of snaps...was around 52% but head back up with 16 carries in first half Sunday after recovering from minor shoulder injury. Now obviously no way he gets to 60%

Apparently being a Cardinals RB is the new kiss of death. Season enders for Ry and Tim with Beanie and LaRod being banged up. Alfonso needs to be careful this week vs Ray Ray and Ngata.

Sorry to hear this.

Good luck Timmy! Hope you rehab and are able to come back next year and contribute to whatever team you end up on.

I feel sorry for him. He's been always one of my fav Cards.

I'll never forget the TD vs. Philly to put us up for the win!!! Always liked THT... Bummer deal...

Maybe the Cardinals could bring him back in FA. They could do a lot worse. Among Beanie, Williams and THT, one could stay healthy. All three backs would give the Cardinals a lot of diversity not forgetting LSH.

What are you guys talking about "Whatever team he winds up on". Tim is loved in Washington. Seriously, its almost like our love for Heap.

Besides he was playing very well before he got hurt, they will surely bring him back

Isn't he a free agent after this year? That's what I was thinking. Washington would be a part of "Whatever team he winds up on." wouldn't it?

If he isn't a free agent then he, of course, would remain in Washington. I'm sure they will be happy to have him back.

Feel bad but not so bad...the way he came out before the wash game and called out our team and organization was classless I thought. We gave him a great opportunity here as a 5th round pic. He owes us a fumble dammit!!!!!!
