LANDOVER, Md. -- A look at the New Orleans Saints players and units who were “up” and those who were “down” in Sunday’s 47-14 loss to the Washington Redskins.
UP:
RB Tim Hightower: He didn’t affect the game much, but it was a special day for the 29-year-old as he had his first carries in a NFL game since tearing his ACL in 2011 (when he happened to be playing for the Redskins). Hightower’s recovery was marred by an undiagnosed infection, but he finally cracked the roster last week when RB Khiry Robinson got hurt.
