Howden recorded 11 tackles (three solo) in Sunday's Week 6 loss to the Buccaneers.
Howden moved into a starting role with Will Harris (hamstring) placed on IR on Saturday. Howden played every snap against Tampa Bay and finished with a career-high tackle total. The 24-year-old will likely continue to see extended opportunity, at least in the short term, with Harris out at least three more weeks.
