Hightower: Did I Miss Something About His Injury?

I thought it was the shoulder.


Ben Volin ✔ @BenVolin
Donta Hoghtower moving around the locker room pretty well. Missed Sunday’s game with a knee injury

Eh, it's just Volin, with his head on backwards again.


Ben Volin ✔ @BenVolin
Sorry, shoulder injury for Hightower. He’s practicing today

Hey, Ben, glad to hear he isn't limping though.

as long as he's back on the field

add Jones, and I predict much more thoughtful excitement from DIKEMBE

You should know better than to question yourself when it comes to something Volin says. Of course, you could have been sarcastic and it went over my head.

Seriously. And he practiced every day last week, too. Granted it was on a limited basis but thus far he has absolutely no update on Hightower.

My first post wasn't sarcastic at all.

His second tweet tried to quickly cover it up as if he merely mistakenly wrote "knee" instead of "shoulder" when that was completely his intent as he was remarking how he was moving through the lockerroom well!

Hey, Ben, we know its harder when they aren't wearing numbers. BTW, I hear Gronk changed his to 69.

It's all good. I like Volin and hopes he grows into his role.

Let us all pray together that it is not that same recurring shoulder injury that plagued TFB for years

Hey, they're both joints. Sounds like Volin was smoking one.

I just find it hilarious that Volin was impressed that Hightower wasn't limping!

I didn't know if you were just making fun of Volin in the first post. I find it funny too. And he gets paid for that kind of reporting.

Unless Hightower usually walks around head down on his hands I don't really know if him not limping is a good indication that his shoulder is OK

Well, I'm guessing Volin went to the same college as last week's refs.

Neither knows where the shoulder is.
RIMSHOT!

Methinks the Globe beat writer got Hightower and Easley confused.

No way. He'd be more insightful than he is if he did.

Just what we need--inept reporting adding a layer of smog to the Patriots injury information.

Easley continues to miss practices with a knee injury, though he did play in nine of 56 defensive snaps in the Patriots' 23-14 win over the Chargers Sunday night.

Linebacker Chris White, who was inactive for Sunday night's game with an ankle injury, returned to practice for the Patriots.

I've missed this fellow -

I was gonna say, how is the guy limping on a shmessed up shoulder, then I saw it was Volin.

Would not be surprised if he actually saw Easley walking through the locker room, thought it was Hightower and then got very close to reporting relevant news but his brain wouldn't have that.

Dear Ian,

Please add "wince" emoticon.

Thank you.

He was walking on his hands.
