MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- New England Patriots linebacker Dont'a Hightower, who is questionable with a knee ailment, has made the trip with the team for Sunday's season finale against the Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium.
Hightower, one of the team's defensive captains and the primary communicator in the huddle, did not play in last Saturday's 41-3 win over the New York Jets. That was considered more of a maintenance issue, as Hightower has been dealing with a knee injury since absorbing a cut block Dec. 4 against the Los Angeles Rams.
