It sounds like running back Tim Hightower has re-signed with the Washington Redskins. We've yet to receive official confirmation, but Hightower announced the news via his twitter account.

I'm really glad he's back. Assuming he's over the knee injury, granted, that is a big assumption, he's only 25 years old. He has plenty of tread on the tires and fits the system very well. One of his most valuable assets that he brings to the team is his blocking ability, which could be a huge help for new quarterback Robert Griffin III in year one and beyond.
