• Dolphins' Xavien Howard: Informed of release

  02/23/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Dolphins informed Howard (foot) on Friday that he will be released at the start of the league year, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. For the first time in his eight-year NFL career, Howard is expected to have to look for a new home this offseason. Howard's release, along with the expected release of Emmanuel Ogbah, will save Miami roughly $32 million in cap space. The four-time Pro Bowl cornerback finished the 2023 season with 45 total tackles, 12 passes defensed and one interception across 13 outings. He's expected to attract significant interest once he hits the open market, per Garafolo.

  Howard (foot) won't play Sunday against the Bills, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports. Howard's absence for the regular-season finale comes as little surprise after he was carted off the field with the foot injury in the Dolphins' Week 17 loss to the Ravens. On the bright side, Howard's injury won't require surgery, so he still has a chance to return during the postseason. Miami has clinched a playoff berth regardless of the outcome of the Week 18 game.
