Saints' Tim Hightower: Serves as Ingram's backup

Hightower gained 39 yards on five carries and five yards on one reception in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs.

Analysis:

There were reports last week that Hightower had fallen behind Daniel Lasco on the Saints' running back depth chart. However, with Lasco inactive due to a hamstring injury, Hightower served as Mark Ingram's primary backup in Kansas City. It remains unclear whether Hightower or Lasco would stand to benefit most if Ingram were to miss any time with an injury, but neither has much value so long as Ingram remains healthy.
