    Free agent running back Tim Hightower appears to be headed back to the Washington Redskins, declaring "I'm baaaaaaaack" while posting a picture of himself wearing a Redskins hat. Acquired from the Arizona Cardinals last August, the 2008 fifth round pick out of Richmond suffered a torn ACL in his left knee during a 33-20 loss to the Carolina Panthers in Week 7. Prior to his injury, Hightower had led the Redskins with 84 carries for 321 yards on the ground. In 53 games in his NFL career, Hightower has 2,054 yards and 24 touchdowns rushing with 128 receptions for 879 yards and one touchdown out of the backfield. If healthy, Hightower adds experience to a backfield that is currently topped by 2011 fourth round pick Roy Helu with 2011 sixth round pick Evan Royster and 2012 sixth round pick Alfred Morris behind him.
