Any update on Dont'a Hightower's condition?

[thenepatsrule]

I dont remember seeing him return later on in the game.........tried googling for any news on him......nada

I'm sure BB will give a full briefing tomorrow. If I had to guess, I'd say "day to day".

Other than hamstring, nothing new. As others pointed out, he was sitting on sideline, rather than removed from the scene, so it probably isn't TOO serious. I hope. He's a beast.

I hope he is healthy for the game against Forehead and his Horses

Rapid Reaction: Patriots 52, Bills 28 - New England Patriots Blog - ESPN Boston

Hightower’s hamstring injury. On the injury front, rookie linebacker Dont’a Hightower left the game in the first quarter with a hamstring injury and did not return. Veteran Tracy White took his place. The Patriots are thin at linebacker, and if Hightower’s hamstring injury is a lingering concern, it could lead the team to promote Jeff Tarpinian from the practice squad or possibly look toward a player who was with them in training camp, such as Bobby Carpenter.

One of the writers said on twitter (Curran I think) that he was walking with no limp in the locker room after the game.

The Herald had a brief blurb about this in which they described him as 'good'.

Sounds like they are optimistic for his chances of playing next week. I'm not sure what insight they have though.

"It's probably not life-threatening"

I hope he's okay and just tweeked it. I thought he looked like he was taking the first big step forward as a professional LBer in his career as of yesterday. He was all over the field.
