Xavien Howard Trending in Right Direction Miami Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard continues to work his way back into form as the 2020 season opener gets closer
Status uncertain for opener Howard's (knee) status for the Dolphins' Week 1 matchup with the Patriots is up in the air as of now, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Howard was recently activated off both the reserve/COVID-19 and active/physically unable to perform lists and will need some time to get int game-ready condition. Coach Brian Flores indicated Howard still needs to work on his fundamentals and technique before he is fully integrated back into the swing of things. The 27-year-old is expected to start opposite Byron Jones at cornerback this season.

A repeat of 2019? Dolphins should be better in December
The Miami Dolphins believe they’ve finally found a coach to lead them to their first playoff win since 2000AUGUST 26, 2020 • Associated Press
Not a lock for Week 1 Coach Brian Flores is non-committal about the chances of Howard (knee) being ready to kick off the 2020 season, Barry Jackson and Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald report.
Impact Howard, who has spent the last seven days on the reserve/COVID-19 list, is also recovering from knee surgery undergone back in December. The 27-year-old has proven to be one of the best cornerbacks in the league when healthy, but he's missed 24 games across the first four years of his NFL career. In the event that Howard were unable to suit up against New England in Week 1, rookie first-round pick Noah Igbinoghene and Nik Needham would be candidates to start opposite Byron Jones.

Facing uncertain timeline Coach Brian Flores declined to put a timetable on Howard (knee) returning to the field Wednesday, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Howard had knee surgery more than seven months ago and was placed on the PUP list Tuesday. His five-year, $76.5 million contract is one of the largest in the league for a cornerback, but he's missed 24 games through four seasons, including 11 last year alone. It isn't clear if the Dolphins expect Howard to be ready for Week 1.

Needs healthy campaign Howard (knee) should be fully healthy to kick off the 2020 season after having missed a combined 15 games over the last two years, Omar Kelly reports.
Impact Howard offers Miami a dominant corner when healthy, but in four years with the team, he's only managed to put together one full 16-game slate due to recurring knee injuries. The soon-to-be 27-year-old is optimistic that his December procedure will eliminate the lingering pain that limited him to just five games in 2019. If Howard is indeed able to bounce back to his usual Pro Bowl level, he and Byron Jones could combine to form one of the most imposing cornerback tandems in the league in 2020.
