Hightower (knee) is listed as active Saturday in Buffalo.
Hightower (knee) is questionable for Saturday's wild-card matchup with the Bills, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
A big, strong, intimidating presence in the middle. His physicality and sure tackling provide a big boost in run defense. Can shed blocks, penetrate the line (and get straight to the quarterback) and make plays covering the pass. Takes some downs off. Needs to keep his focus. Can be a little more explosive pressuring the pocket and show a little more intensity staying with single-man assignments. Needs to make more plays in pursuit.
Long Range Potential: Excellent and versatile linebacker.
