New England lists Dont'a Hightower as questionable
New England Patriots linebacker Dont'a Hightower (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
What It Means:
Hightower was held out of Week 17, but he is expected to play through his knee issue after getting an extended rest. The Patriots need Hightower healthy with the run-heavy Chiefs on the slate for the Divisional Round.
Hightower is a big part of a Patriots' defense which ended the regular season ranked 12th in Adjusted Defensive Net Expected Points per play. In his fourth season, he totaled 61 tackles and 3.5 sacks.
