Hightower was waived by the Chargers on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houstonreports.

EDGE Analysis

Hightower signed a reserve/future deal with the team in January after spending part of last season on their practice squad. He'll now have to pursue another opportunity.

The Chargers signed Hightower to a reserve/future deal Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hightower was signed to the Chargers' practice squad at the end of September after failing to make the Eagles' initial 53-man roster, but he didn't make any appearances during the 2022 campaign. The undrafted wideout out of Boise State played in 13 games as a rookie for Philadelphia, totaling 10 receptions on 29 targets for 167 yards across 346 offensive snaps, but he's seen NFL action in just one game since.

The Chargers signed Hightower to the practice squad Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Hightower dealt with a groin injury early in training camp and was ultimately waived by the Eagles ahead of the 53-man roster deadline. However, now the 2020 fifth-round pick will get a new opportunity with the Chargers, who recently placed Jalen Guyton (knee) on IR and haven't had Keenan Allen (hamstring) since Week 1.

The Eagles waived Hightower on Tuesday, Chris McPherson of the Eagles' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hightower dealt with a groin injury early in training camp and didn't play in the Eagles' preseason opener, but he was on the field for the team's final two exhibition matchups. While the 2020 fifth-rounder seems to have moved past his injury, he was unable to secure a spot on Philadelphia's 53-man roster.

Hightower won't practice Tuesday due to a groin injury, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The severity of the injury is unclear, but the 2020 fifth-round pick will have to return to practice quickly if he has any shot of making the initial 53-man roster. Hightower played 346 offensive snaps over 13 games as a rookie, but he spent the majority of last season on Philadelphia's practice squad, totaling just 11 snaps during his lone appearance of the campaign -- Week 9 against the Chargers.

The Eagles signed Hightower to a future/reserve contract Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Hightower logged eleven total snaps in Week 9 for Philadelphia after spending most of the season on the team's practice squad. This is a severe drop-off compared to the wideout's 346 offensive snaps over 13 games played in his 2020 rookie campaign. The 25-year-old will have an opportunity to carve out a depth role on the team's active roster heading into the 2022 season.

The Eagles restored Hightower (illness) to the practice squad from the COVID-19 list Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Hightower landed on the COVID list Dec. 28 after logging a positive test for the virus. Now, he can return to all usual team activities. The second-year pro has only appeared in one game this season.

Hightower has landed on the Eagles' practice squad COVID-19 list.

EDGE Analysis

Via Adam Schefter of ESPN, Hightower tested positive for the virus. Thus, he will not be eligible to return to practice until he clears the NFL's health and safety protocols.

Hightower reverted to the Philadelphia practice squad Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Hightower played two offensive snaps and nine special teams snaps Sunday. After catching 10 passes for 167 yards in 2020, the 25-year-old wide receiver has yet to make an impact this year.

Hightower was elevated from the practice squad Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

A fifth-round pick by the Eagles back in 2019, Hightower was a surprise cut by the team this offseason only to rejoin the practice squad immediately after. The speedy wideout will make his first return to the active roster this season and could be asked to take on a special teams role to start.
