Hightower may be on the roster bubble, Matt Barrows of The Sacramento Bee reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carlos Hyde and 2017 fourth-round pick Joe Williams entered camp as rosters locks, and undrafted rookie Matt Breida has made a strong push for a spot. Hightower may be competing again Raheem Mostert for one roster spot, with the battle potentially playing out during Thursday's preseason finale against the Chargers. Even if he does end up making the team, Hightower won't necessarily have a Week 1 role on offense.
