The Chargers signed Hightower to a reserve/future deal Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Hightower was signed to the Chargers' practice squad at the end of September after failing to make the Eagles' initial 53-man roster, but he didn't make any appearances during the 2022 campaign. The undrafted wideout out of Boise State played in 13 games as a rookie for Philadelphia, totaling 10 receptions on 29 targets for 167 yards across 346 offensive snaps, but he's seen NFL action in just one game since.

John McKechnie submits his first mock of draft week with a run-through the first round. The Mac Jones to San Francisco rumors are getting louder and louder, but is it just an elaborate smokescreen?
2020 Fantasy Outlook
The Eagles took Hightower with a fifth-round pick in this year's draft as they continued to stock their receiver stable with speed. Opposing defenses will need to be wary of his ability to blow by the secondary with his 4.43 40 speed and 1.49 10-yard split times. The road to playing time got a bit easier after Marquise Goodwin opted out of the 2020 season, but Hightower still seems most likely to fill a depth role as a rookie, potentially competing with sixth-round pick Quez Watkins to serve as a part-time deep threat.
