Bama LB...back, Hightower; 'I think he could play in a game right now,' Saban says

So much for that talk about linebacker Dont'a Hightower being held out of contact until August as he recovers from a serious knee injury. "I never said that," Alabama coach Nick Saban said today after the Crimson Tide's first spring football practice."He'll practice every day like everybody else, I think he could play in a game right now."Saban said a determination will be made before each scrimmage if Hightower is good to go. The junior-to-be star tore both ligaments in a knee during the Crimson Tide's fourth game of the 2009 season, a 35-7 victory over Arkansas. The time frame last fall was for Hightower to be sidelined from full contact until preseason workouts begin in August.
