New England Patriots linebacker Dont'a Hightower (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
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.
