Hightower’s recovery is expected to span six or seven months, according to a source. The Patriots officially open training camp around July 29, and a six-month window would have Hightower ready Aug. 10. The seven-month window would put him in line to be ready for the regular-season opener around Sept. 10
Not great news and as Howe points out, this puts a new twist on the expected Jerod Mayo contract re-working. Still, I think given what we’ve seen from Hightower, he should be good by the start of the 2015 season. If Mayo is back in the mix and healthy, it will enable the Pats to ease Hightower back into things a little easier.
