The Facts: In a move that will shock nobody who has been playing Fantasy Football for any length of time, Mike Shanahan said today that he would not commit to Hightower being his primary back even if healthy.
Diehards Line:Instead, Shanahan said, "We'll let it play out." All signs to this point had indicated Hightower was the assumed starter if healthy, but perhaps this means Roy Helu has a shot to win the job to open the season. Keep in mind that it is thought that Helu does not have the durability to hold the job of primary ball carrier among the staff while Hightower is still recovering from an ACL injury. They'll be much more to come on this training camp battle.
