Impact Howard fielded seven offensive snaps during Sunday's loss to the Cowboys, generating eight yards over his three carries. Miles Sanders picked up the bulk of the RB work on the ground, collecting 57 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries. Boston Scott, meanwhile, chipped in with two carries for 17 yards. Howard's role remains limited, with the veteran having handled only seven rush attempts over his past two appearances Weeks 13 and 16.

Promoted from practice squad Howard was elevated from the Eagles' practice squad Saturday.

Impact Philadelphia has a full stable of backs at its disposal with Miles Sanders, Boston Scott and Corey Clement all being available for Week 16. The veteran Howard will nevertheless provide RB depth Sunday afternoon in a matchup against the Cowboys' bottom-ranked rush defense. Howard's 2020 Eagles debut Week 13 against Green Bay yielded 19 rushing yards over four carries.

Doesn't stick on active roster Howard reverted to the Eagles' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Impact After falling out of favor in the Dolphins' backfield and being unceremoniously waived Nov. 16, Howard signed back on with the Eagles. He made 10 appearances for the team in 2019, and in his first game back Week 13 against the Packers he registered 19 rushing yards over four carries. Philadelphia has a deep RB room with trusted options Boston Scott and Corey Clement in place behind starter Miles Sanders, but that doesn't necessarily preclude Howard from a minor role of his own Week 14 against New Orleans' No. 2 rush defense.

Returning to Philadelphia Howard was elevated from the practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Packers.

Impact Howard will make his return to an NFL active roster after being waived by the Dolphins in November. The veteran back struggled mightily in his abbreviated stint with the team, registering a ghastly 1.2 yards-per-carry across 28 attempts, but he did score four touchdowns. It's possible the Eagles could ask him to reprise a similar role, though Miles Sanders and Boston Scott should still see a large majority of the snaps in this widening backfield-by-committee.

Passes through waivers Howard cleared waivers Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact The Dolphins waived Howard on Monday in what coach Brian Flores explained was a "mutual parting." Howard was a healthy scratch in four of five games before getting cut, and when he did suit up, he functioned almost exclusively in short-yardage situations, recording 33 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 28 carries. With Salvon Ahmed showing promise in last week's win over the Chargers, it was clear that Howard would stay out of the game plan moving forward, so it was in his best interests to find a fresh start elsewhere. The 26-year-old back is eligible to sign with a new team immediately.

Let go by Miami The Dolphins waived Howard on Monday, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Coach Brian Flores called this a "mutual parting," and it's not a surprising move. Howard has struggled to get his footing as anything but a goal-line back in Miami, recording 33 yards and four touchdowns on 28 carries, while running backs Myles Gaskin (knee) and Salvon Ahmed have had no trouble producing. Howard was a healthy scratch for the fourth time in the last five games during Sunday's win over the Chargers, and the two sides decided it was best to part ways. The 26-year-old carries a $4.75 million cap hit this season, so he'll likely clear waivers before finding a new team.

Healthy scratch Week 10 Howard (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 10 tilt against the Chargers.

Impact The fifth-year veteran's inactive status is somewhat of a surprise, considering Matt Breida (hamstring) and Lynn Bowden (coach's decision) will also sit out versus Los Angeles. Howard was able to salvage his fantasy day in Week 9 against the Cardinals with his fourth rushing touchdown of the season, but a week later, he'll be in street clothes for the third time this season. The trio of Salvon Ahmed, the recently acquired DeAndre Washington and Patrick Laird are on tap to lead the Dolphins backfield in Week 10.

Finds end zone in win over Arizona Howard carried 10 times for 19 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 34-31 win over the Cardinals.

Impact With injuries mounting on the running back depth chart, Howard received double-digit carries for the first time this season. He averaged just 1.9 yards per carry against a middling Arizona run defense but managed to sneak into the end zone for a two-yard touchdown in the first quarter. Howard was also outgained by both Salvon Ahmed and Tua Tagovailoa on the ground, so he can be considered as a touchdown-dependent fantasy option next Sunday against the Chargers even if Matt Breida (hamstring) remains sidelined.

Could start Week 9 Howard could serve as the Dolphins' lead ball carrier in Sunday's game in Arizona with Matt Breida (hamstring) ruled out for the contest, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

Impact A major disappointment after signing a two-year, $9.75 million deal with the Dolphins in the offseason, Howard has been a healthy inactive for the past three games after being utilized almost exclusively in short-yardage situations prior to that. With lead back Myles Gaskin (knee) moving to injured reserve and Breida now being sidelined, Howard suddenly finds himself in an unexpected position to pick up work. Head coach Brian Flores hasn't formally outlined his plans for Miami's backfield in Week 9, but Wolfe predicts that Howard will handle the bulk of early down work, while Patrick Laird plays a change-of-pace role. Howard's lack of pass-catching prowess makes him a better fit in non-PPR formats for fantasy managers looking for help at running back this week.
