Dont'a Hightower on track after shoulder surgery
New England Patriots linebacker Dont'a Hightower is on track with his recovery from shoulder surgery.
What It Means:
The Patriots expected him back six to seven months after his surgery, which took place on February 10th. September 10th would be a full seven months. It's also the opening date of the NFL season, when the Patriots host the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Hightower posted 89 tackles, 6 sacks, and a forced fumble in 12 games last season. He had 97 tackles and a sack in 2013. Our algorithms project him to record 80 tackles and 5 sacks this season.
