News

  • Arrested Sunday night

    Howard (knee) was arrested Sunday and held overnight at the Broward County (Fla.) Sheriff's Office Main Jail on one count of domestic battery, Charles Trainor Jr. of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Police say Howard pushed his fiancee into a wall during an argument. The Dolphins released an initial statement acknowledging that they're aware of the situation and won't comment any further until they've gathered more information.

  • Goes under knife

    Howard underwent surgery on his knee Wednesday, Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: Howard reportedly had a knee scope done, so he won't be sidelined as long as if he'd required a reconstructive surgery. Coach Brian Flores nonetheless said that it's too early in the process to estimate whether Howard will be ready for OTAs, according to Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post. The 2016 second-round pick notched 17 tackles (12 solo), four defended passes and one interception across five contests in 2019.

  • Heads to IR

    Howard (knee) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Howard injured his knee during Monday's loss to the Steelers. While the MRI he underwent Tuesday revealed no damage to his ACL or MCL, the Dolphins evidently determined Howard wasn't on track to return to action in the near future. While Howard will be eligible to return Week 17 against the Patriots, it's more likely than not that he's done for the season. The Dolphins believe Howard is a piece they can rebuild their defense around -- they proved it by signing him to a five-year, $76.5 million…read more

  • Will undergo MRI on Tuesday

    Howard (knee) will undergo an MRI on Tuesday after exiting Monday's loss to the Steelers with a knee injury, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Howard was sidelined by the lingering knee injury for two games before returning to the starting lineup on Monday night. The cornerback doesn't believe it to be a serious injury, but more will be known when the team returns to practice later this week. Before exiting the contest, Howard recorded three passes defensed and one tackle.

  • Questionable to return

    Howard suffered a knee injury and is questionable to return to Monday's contest against the Steelers.

    Analysis: Howard spent quite some time in the team's medical tent before returning to the sidelines without his helmet Monday night. Look for more updates on his status to come as made available. In the meantime, look for Jomal Wiltz and Nik Needham to see increased reps.

  • Ready to rock

    Howard (knee) will play in Monday night's clash against the Steelers, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Howard had indicated earlier in the week that he planned to suit up for the game and made good on his word. Now that the 2016 second-round pick is officially playing, expect him to start at one of the cornerback positions and take on leading receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster head-to-head for much of the game.

  • Officially questionable

    The Dolphins have officially listed Howard (knee) as questionable for Monday's matchup with the Steelers, Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: Howard indicated earlier in the week that he expects to suit up against the Steelers, but it looks like the Dolphins are remaining a little more cautious. Jomal Wiltz would presumably be in line to replace Howard at cornerback should he end up getting ruled out.

  • Expects to play Monday

    Howard (knee) said Thursday that he expects to suit up against the Steelers on Monday, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.

    Analysis: Howard hasn't seen regular-season action since Week 4 due to a lingering knee issue. He logged a trio of limited practice sessions last week, so he could need to resume practicing in full before retaking the field. If Howard is indeed able to go Monday, he'll draw the start at cornerback across from Eric Rowe.

  • Inactive versus Bills

    Howard (knee) is inactive for Sunday's divisional contest against the Bills.

    Analysis: Howard appeared to be trending toward retaking the field Sunday after logging a trio of limited practices, but he'll need at least another week of recovery. With Reshad Jones (chest) also ruled out, Miami's secondary will be forced to roll without two starters against Buffalo.

  • Expected to play Week 7

    Howard (knee) is expected to play Sunday at Buffalo, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Howard was a limited practice participant all week so it's no major surprise he's good to play Week 7. The 26-year-old missed last week's loss to the Redskins but should serve as the Dolphins' top cornerback Sunday.

  • Officially questionable

    Howard (knee) is questionable for Sunday's divisional tilt against the Bills, Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post reports.

    Analysis: Howard logged a trio of limited practices this week. He wasn't able to suit up Week 6 against the Redskins but appears to have a chance of playing Sunday. His presence would be a boost to Miami's secondary with Reshad Jones (chest) ruled out.

  • Works in limited capacity

    Howard (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Howard is working through the knee soreness that kept him out of this past Sunday's loss to the Redskins. Getting on the field, albeit limited, is a positive sign for his chances of playing Sunday against the Bills. However, the Dolphins may choose not to rush back their top corner until he's feeling 100 percent.

  • Can't play Sunday

    Howard (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Saints.

    Analysis: Howard logged a trio of limited practice sessions this week, but he isn't yet ready to retake the field. In Howard's stead, the Dolphins will likely rely on one of Ken Webster or Jomal Wiltz to start at cornerback across from Eric Rowe.

  • Trending toward sitting out

    Howard (knee), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Redskins, is unlikely to play, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Though Howard was a limited participant in practice throughout the week, the winless Dolphins apparently aren't inclined to take any unnecessary risk with the star cornerback while he continues to contend with knee soreness. The likely absence of Howard would prove even more damaging to a Miami pass defense that already ranks 31st in the NFL with 296.3 yards allowed per game through the air.

  • Dealing with knee injury

    Howard is questionable for Sunday's game against the Redskins with a knee injury, Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: Howard was a limited practice participant all week and doesn't seem to be in danger of missing Sunday's game. The 26-year-old has 16 tackles (11 solo) and one pass defensed through four games.

  • Signs five-year extension

    Howard signed a five-year, $76.5 million contract with the Dolphins on Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Howard's new contract makes him the highest paid cornerback in the NFL. He's coming off a 2018 season that saw him record 35 tackles and 12 passes defensed, including seven interceptions in 12 games, en route to his first Pro Bowl appearance. He's entering his fourth season in 2019 and will aim to continue improving on the strong play from a year ago.

  • Two picks in Pro Bowl

    Howard recorded two interceptions during Sunday's Pro Bowl.

    Analysis: Howard missed the final four games of the season while recovering from an injury to the meniscus in his left knee, but the cornerback's participation in this meaningless competition implies Howard has since returned to full health. He proved it in impressive fashion, too, and Howard can now officially close the book on a sensational 2018 campaign in which he took home both Pro Bowl and second-team All-Pro honors after tying for the league lead with seven interceptions in only 12 games.

  • Inactive Week 17

    Howard (knee) is inactive for Sunday's Week 17 tilt against the Bills.

    Analysis: The talented cornerback will thus close out his 2018 campaign with four consecutive absences. First-rounder Minkah Fitzpatrick will once again draw the start in Howard's absence.

  • Receives questionable tag

    Howard (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against at Buffalo, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Howard was able to practice in a limited fashion all week as he attempts to return from his three-game absence. The 25-year-old was similarly limited last week before ultimately being declared inactive for the Week 16 loss to the Jaguars, lending at least an element of doubt to his status heading into the regular-season finale.

  • Inactive Week 16

    Howard (knee) is inactive for Sunday's tilt against Jacksonville.

    Analysis: Howard is missing his third-straight game since his arthroscopic knee procedure. He was limited in practice this week and will set his sights on a return in the team's regular-season finale against the Bills. Minkah Fitzpatrick will likely draw the start in place of Howard once again.

  • Questionable for Week 16

    Howard (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Howard has missed the last two games after undergoing an arthroscopic knee procedure and was a limited participant in practice all week. The standout cornerback's status for Week 16 could come down to a game-time decision.

    Published: Fri, Dec 21 at 12:15pm by Rotowire.com

  • Could play Week 16

    Coach Adam Gase said Wednesday that Howard (knee) is "trending in the right direction" to play against the Jaguars on Sunday, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Howard will still need to log a solid week of practice for a chance at retaking the field Week 16. He was a limited participant Wednesday. The star cornerback has missed the last two games after undergoing an arthroscopic procedure on his knee and is making encouraging progress in his recovery. If Howard is able to take the field against the Jaguars, rookie Minkah Fitzpatrick may see a slight decrease in snaps.

  • Out in Week 15

    Howard (knee) is inactive for Sunday's Week 15 tilt against the Vikings.

    Analysis: The standout cornerback will thus sit for a second straight game following an arthroscopic procedure on his knee approximately two weeks ago. Howard did resume running this week under supervision, so he's a candidate to return for a Week 16 tilt against the Jaguars. His absence Sunday ups the already strong fantasy stock of Kirk Cousins, Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen.

  • Unlikely to play Sunday

    Howard (knee) is officially doubtful for Sunday's game at Minnesota, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Howard was able to resume running at practice this week but he was still listed as a non-participant Wednesday and Thursday after undergoing a minor knee surgery last week. The Dolphins secondary is likely to have a tall task without its top cornerback this week against Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen.

  • Does some running

    Howard (knee) didn't practice Wednesday but did some running under the supervision of the Miami training staff, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: While the NFL interception leader hasn't officially been ruled out for Week 15, coach Adam Gase acknowledged that he needs to see more from Howard in terms of lateral movement and agility. The Dolphins likely will have to play without their top cornerback for a second straight game, though Howard could still make a late push to suit up. He had a minor arthroscopic procedure last week to trim the meniscus in his injured knee.

  • Recovering from minor procedure

    Howard, who is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Patriots, recently underwent arthroscopic surgery to trim the meniscus of his injured knee, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The scope was considered minor, so Howard will have a chance at returning to action as soon as Week 15 in Minnesota if he progresses as quickly as the Dolphins anticipate. For at least Sunday, however, Miami may be hard pressed to slow down the Tom Brady-to-Josh Gordon connection without its No. 1 cornerback to match up against New England's top downfield threat. Minkah Fitzpatrick, Bobby McCain, Torry McTyer and Cornell Armstrong will likely work as Miami's primary corners in Week 14.

  • Week 14 absence confirmed

    Coach Adam Gase announced Friday that Howard (knee) won't play Week 14 against the Patriots, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.

    Analysis: It's a significant loss for the Miami defense, as Howard has been playing at an All-Pro level in 2018, pacing the NFL with seven interceptions to go with 35 tackles and 12 pass breakups in 12 games. Gase relayed that the Dolphins will re-evaluate Howard next week before offering another update on his status, implying there's some concern about their top cornerback missing time beyond Sunday. With Howard out of the mix, the Patriots' top downfield threat, Josh Gordon, should benefit from more…read more

  • Could miss games

    Coach Adam Gase said Wednesday that Howard is viewed as week to week with a knee injury, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Despite the unfavorable terminology, Gase toldWolfe that he wasn't quite ready to rule his top cornerback out for Sunday's game against the Patriots. However, the coach relayed that the thinks Howard will be back at some point this season, therefore implying the 25-year-old is unlikely to play in Week 14.

  • Absent from practice Wednesday

    Howard (undisclosed) didn't practice Wednesday, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.

    Analysis: Howard played all but one snap in the Dolphins' win over the Bills on Sunday. On the play before that, Howard appeared to pull up and then left the field. Going into Week 13, Howard was listed on the injury report with an ankle injury, so it's possible that he aggravated that injury, though nothing specific has been said by the team. More will become clear as more practice reports are released throughout the week.

  • Posts two interceptions again

    Howard logged four tackles (three solo), two passes defended and two interceptions during Sunday's 21-17 win over the Bills.

    Analysis: Howard recorded two interceptions for the second straight week, bringing his season total to seven. The 2016 second-round pick will look to log another strong outing against Tom Brady and the Patriots in Week 14.

  • Snags two interceptions in loss

    Howard recorded five tackles (all solo), three passes defended and two interceptions during Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Colts.

    Analysis: Howard managed to pick off quarterback Andrew Luck twice in the span of 14 seconds. The first interception came with under a minute remaining in the second quarter, after which tight end Mike Gesicki immediately fumbled the ball back to Indianapolis. Howard then intercepted Luck again on the next play, sending the game into halftime. The third-year pro will look to log another strong outing against rookie Josh Allen and the Bills in Week 13.

  • Will play Sunday

    Howard (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Jets.

    Analysis: The Dolphins will have their No. 1 cornerback in Week 9, as Howard figures to line up across from Jets receivers Quincy Enunwa and Robby Anderson, who both are returning from ankle injuries.

  • Likely to play Sunday

    Howard (ankle) is expected to play Sunday versus the Jets, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The Jets are expected to be fully healthy at wide receiver with Quincy Enunwa and Robby Anderson returning from ankle injuries, so Howard's health will be important. The third-year pro has made 16 tackles, five pass breakups and three interceptions in eight games this season. He'll look to snag another pick against Sam Darnold, who has thrown 10 in eight games.

  • Questionable for Sunday

    Howard is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets with an ankle injury, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.

    Analysis: Howard started the week as a limited practice participant, but he was without limitations Friday, a good sign for his potential availability availability Sunday. Barring a setback, the 25-year-old should be ready to go against the Jets.
