Rehabbing Washington Redskins running back Tim Hightower had his most active day since the start of training camp Thursday and received a large number of carries during 11-on-11 portions of the team’s practice.

Hightower tore the ACL in his left knee last October, had surgery in November and has been limited primarily to individual and one-on-one drills so far this season. But Hightower received the green light to take part in Thursday’s action, and appeared to do well.

In previous practices, the fifth-year veteran would get a carry or two during non-contact action, but still moved with a noticeable limp. On Thursday, the Redskins practiced without pads, and Hightower rotated in as scout team running back. He displayed good quickness and improved cutting ability.

“Tim practiced today and did a pretty good job out there. I felt really good about that,” Shanahan said. “He did a lot of scout team plays, but you can see he’s making a lot of progress and we’ll get a chance to evaluate him next week.”

Fantasy Impact: 

Hightower's return only muddies the Redskins running back situation.

Redskins RB Roy Helu has Achilles tendonitis.

Fantasy Impact: 

This means the value on RB Evan Royster continues to go up. With Tim Hightower also trying to get back to 100-percent, Royster is still getting first team reps at camp and is closer to earning the starting job. We still caution that Royster isn't really a safe option in a Mike Shananhan offense, despite his ADP skyrocketing. We rank him 52nd among our backs. He'll likely go well before where we value him.

Also, OC Kyle Shanahan said the starting nod being given Thursday to tailback Evan Royster is not necessarily an indication of which way the team is leaning in the competition for the starting running back job.

“Nothing is set,” Shanahan said.

Coach Mike Shanahan said Tuesday that Royster would start against the Bills and split carries with Roy Helu. Tim Hightower, who’s working his way back from a knee injury suffered last season, is not scheduled to play in Buffalo.

“Hopefully one of those guys will make our decision easy,” Kyle Shanahan said.

Evan Royster continues to work with the first team

Redskins RB Evan Royster has worked with the starting unit as Tim Hightower remains limited in full-team work.

"He was just kind of a guy, and when he did get his opportunity he showed good signs, and then he'd fall out of nowhere and show flashes," guard Kory Lichtensteiger said. "Toward the end of the year he was just a good player.

"He has a little wiggle to him, maybe the best wiggle of anybody in our running back group. That helps him make people miss and get a little space."

Fantasy Impact: 

The most alarming thing to note here is that the team doesn't appear to believe that Roy Helu can carry the load. Royster may hold nice value as a late-round flier in fantasy drafts, though Helu will surely get work on third downs.
