Per Chris Russell: Multiple sources tell @ESPNRadio980 that the #Redskins & medical staff strongly believe that Tim Hightower has a torn ACL, MRI in AM.

Of course

skinsfaninok · 10-23-2011, 10:38 PM

Time to start Helu

MTK · 10-23-2011, 10:41 PM

This season sure has taken a turn south

mooby · 10-23-2011, 10:41 PM

Torain and Helu ftw!

The Goat · 10-23-2011, 10:41 PM

This could be a blessing in disguise. I love Tim's heart and motor but Helu is more talented, maybe far more talented, and also has a tremendous work ethic. Anybody read the article on Helu's background? He's like a football monk lol!

Bucket · 10-23-2011, 10:47 PM

Helu!!!!

Tough break for Hightower.. Love that guy, but man I can't say I haven't wanted to see more of Helu. I'm not really pumped to see Torain, he seems to get so many negative yardage plays.

Alvin Walton · 10-23-2011, 10:55 PM

crap........

Stuck in TX · 10-23-2011, 10:56 PM

Sad news. Torain is a beast but he is not fast enough to be a one cut back. I am a Hightower fan but Helu is the best option.

SirClintonPortis · 10-23-2011, 10:59 PM

That's a real shame. Tough for THT.

Our pass pro might have taken another hit, because he was a good blocker.

skinsfaninok · 10-23-2011, 11:00 PM

TH was promising and young SMH why the skins why?

Hog1 · 10-23-2011, 11:02 PM

On the good side we do get to see the other talent on the team or the lack thereof.....and the Suck for Lucker's should be.........euphoric as well.

Big C · 10-23-2011, 11:03 PM

not surprising, this is what it looked to be on tv. a non-contact knee injury where it buckled.

T.O.Killa · 10-23-2011, 11:04 PM

I think this would mean Royster would be activated

GTripp0012 · 10-23-2011, 11:04 PM

I don't know if this is the end of him as a Redskin, but he's at the end of his rookie contract, and didn't set the world on fire in the first six games. On the bright side, it wouldn't be that expensive to bring him back.
