Hightower and Mark Ingram will likely continue to split carries, ESPN's Mike Triplett reports.
Hightower started Sunday's game in San Francisco and took 23 carries for 87 yards and a touchdown, with Ingram adding 171 scrimmage yards and another pair of scores. The sum production will likely be far less in Week 10 against the Broncos, but both running backs figure to have a key role.
