Tim Hightower (ACL surgery) is sitting out Redskins OTAs.
Hightower got in a conditioning workout after Monday's practice, but Roy Helu and Evan Royster are taking the first-team reps at tailback. Hightower already knows the offense, so he won't be behind when training camp starts. Beat writer Chris Russell expects him to be medically cleared "by mid July."

Tim Hightower (ACL surgery) has yet to be fully cleared for football activities.
He's only "cleared to keep training and preparing for the season." Hightower is probably less than 50-50 for Washington's mandatory June minicamp, but it's unlikely the Redskins would have re-signed him if they weren't expecting him to be near full health by camp. Hightower should be ready for Week 1.

Washington Times
Mike Jones of the Washington Post lists Tim Hightower as the Redskins' starting tailback.
According to Jones, Redskins coaches value Hightower more than Roy Helu and Evan Royster because he's the most well-rounded back and a strong leader. There's little doubt that a healthy Hightower would see a significant role, but his snaps were already on the decline in favor of Helu early in the 2011 season. Expect to see a committee attack, with Helu handling more of the carries and Hightower doing his damage on third down. Helu is still the fantasy back to own.

Washington Post
Redskins agreed to terms with RB Tim Hightower on a one-year contract.
Hightower, 26, averaged 3.82 yards per carry in five starts early last season before tearing his left ACL in Week 7. Due to persistent swelling in the knee, surgery was delayed until November 8. Now just over six months removed from the knee reconstruction, Hightower will return to compete with Roy Helu, Evan Royster, and rookie Alfred Morris for running back snaps. Helu has the most talent of the group and is the favorite to lead Washington's backfield in 2012 touches. Hightower's ideal role would be on obvious passing downs, where his bone-crushing blitz-pickup ability comes in most handy.

Sidelined
Rich Tandler of CSN Washington is the latest Redskins beat writer to list Leonard Hankerson as a starter over Josh Morgan.
Hankerson is coming off hip surgery, but figures to be practice-ready by June 11 minicamp. Tandler considers Pierre Garcon, Hankerson, and Morgan the only locks to make the team, which seems to give Morgan the advantage over Santana Moss for the No. 3 job. Hankerson, Morgan, and Moss figure to see time in the slot.
