Howard worked out with the Bengals this week but didn't agree to a contract, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports. The Cincinnati secondary has been a disaster this season, but they weren't able or willing to bring aboard Howard, who wasn't signed as a free agent this spring in part due to a foot injury. Howard is ostensibly healthy now, and the 31-year-old could find an opportunity with a playoff-contending team looking to add an experienced cornerback for the stretch run.

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.

Howard (foot) is questionable to return to Sunday's game at Baltimore. Howard did not register in the box score before being carted off the field due to an injury to his left foot, according to Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post. Eli Apple stepped up to replace Howard, and Justin Bethel is also available in reserve.
-
Howard (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Baltimore. Howard was limited at each of the Dolphins' practices over the week, so it seems he is truly questionable headed into the weekend. If he can't play Sunday, it could make for an easier day for MVP frontrunner Lamar Jackson.
