Hightower wasn't targeted during Sunday's loss to the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old played only one offensive snap and didn't have a reception for the second straight contest. Hightower is buried on the depth chart behind Travis Fulgham, Jalen Reagor, Greg Ward and Alshon Jeffery.

Hightower did not catch any of his three targets in Sunday's 23-9 win over the Cowboys.

EDGE Analysis

After catching a couple bombs over his past two games, Hightower got yet another deep target early in the contest but was unable to corral it this time. The last pass thrown his way was intercepted, so he had little chance to make an impact. Most importantly, the rookie fifth-rounder was only on the field for 10 snaps, a trend that will likely continue now that Jalen Reagor is healthy again.

Hightower secured one of two targets for 59 yards in the Eagles' 22-21 win over the Giants on Thursday night.

EDGE Analysis

As was the case in Week 6 against the Ravens, Hightower's one reception covered plenty of ground, and in Thursday's case, it came at a critical juncture of the contest. The rookie got loose down the right sideline for his 59-yard grab with Philadelphia down by 11 and 6:05 remaining, setting up the Eagles at the Giants' 14-yard line ahead of what would be one of two fourth-quarter touchdowns. Hightower has lived by the big play in the last two games, but he's still been unable to fully capitalize on the plethora of injuries to the Eagles' pass-catching corps. He'll look to offer his downfield dimension once again versus the Cowboys in a Week 8 battle on Sun., Nov. 1.

Hightower brought in one of four targets for 50 yards in the Eagles' 30-28 loss so the Ravens on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie checked in second in receiving yards on the Eagles despite making just a single catch. Hightower's yardage tally was a career high, but even with the Eagles missing multiple pass catchers over the last several games, the 2020 fifth-round pick has disappointingly failed to make much of an impact. HIghtower will look to carry the moment from his big grab into a Week 7 Thursday night battle against the Giants.

Hightower caught two of his six targets for 18 yards and a two-point conversion in Sunday's 38-29 loss to the Steelers.

EDGE Analysis

Hightower saw a season-high six targets but was able to reel in only two on the day. The rookie ended up tied with Zach Ertz as the second-most targeted Eagles pass-catcher behind Travis Fulgham. However, with Alshon Jeffery (foot) and DeSean Jackson (hamstring) nearing returns, the Boise State product's opportunities could take a hit going forward.

Hightower is one of four healthy wide receivers on the Eagles' roster ahead of Sunday's game in Pittsburgh, Jeff Skervsky of 6 ABC Philadelphia reports.

EDGE Analysis

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside is returning from a chest injury after missing one game, but DeSean Jackson (hamstring) and Alshon Jeffery (calf) will be out for at least one more week. Hightower played 86 and 81 percent of snaps in Philadelphia's past two games, catching four of five targets for 41 yards. It's possible the steady playing time eventually leads to more targets, but Zach Ertz, Greg Ward and Miles Sanders are the safer bets to see passes from Carson Wentz.

Hightower (illness) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

EDGE Analysis

The 2020 fifth-round pick was absent from Thursday's practice due to an illness, but it won't impact his availability for Week 4. Hightower played 78 offensive snaps and caught two of three targets for 19 yards during last Sunday's tie with the Bengals, and he should see plenty of playing time again this week with Alshon Jeffery (foot) and DeSean Jackson (hamstring) sidelined and J.J. Arcega-Whiteside (calf) doubtful.

Hightower (illness) didn't participate in practice Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

After seeing just four targets and 34 offensive snaps in the Eagles' first two games of the season, Hightower increased the latter substantially this past Sunday versus the Bengals to 78 plays. That said, he was targeted just three times on his way to two catches for 19 yards. The Eagles' receiving corps has been hammered by injuries in 2020, with all of Alshon Jeffery (foot), DeSean Jackson (hamstring) and J.J. Arcega-Whiteside (calf) also absent Thursday. As a result, if Hightower can get past his illness, he could be in line for even more passes from Carson Wentz this Sunday at San Francisco.

Hightower caught two of three targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 23-23 tie against the Bengals.

EDGE Analysis

With Jalen Reagor (thumb) out and DeSean Jackson (hamstring) leaving the game early, Hightower led Eagles wide receivers with 78 of 91 offensive snaps (86 percent). Greg Ward wasn't far behind with 76 snaps. Jackson's injury is expected to be minor, but if he's forced to miss Week 4's matchup against the 49ers, Hightower and Ward should both handle increased duties against a defense that's without CB Richard Sherman (hamstring) and DE Nick Bosa (torn ACL).

Hightower caught one of his four targets for a loss of two yards in Sunday's 27-17 loss to Washington

EDGE Analysis

Hightower was on the field for 27 snaps in his NFL debut, or 40-percent of the time the offense was on the field. While that was one play fewer than what J.J. Arcega-Whiteside received, it was the Boise State product who was involved in the offense with four passes thrown his way to Arcega-Whiteside's zero.
