Saints' Jordan Howden: Scores on fumble return in Week 5
Howden notched four tackles (three solo) and recovered a fumble that he returned for a touchdown in a 26-14 win over the Giants on Sunday.
Howden's touchdown was a game-changer. It came on the first play of the fourth quarter when Cam Skattebo fumbled with New York having driven to the Saints' 12-yard line. The Giants looked like they could be on the verge of the go-ahead score until the fumble, but Howden's TD instead gave New Orleans a 26-14 lead that would hold for the remainder of the contest. It was the first fumble recovery and the first touchdown of any sort in Howden's NFL career.

Saints' Jordan Howden: Past oblique injury
Howden (oblique) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, John Hendrix of AthlonSports.com reports.
Howden was not cleared to play in the Saints' Week 1 loss to the Cardinals due to an oblique injury. The additional rest has paid off, as the 2023 fifth-rounder practiced without limitations Wednesday and is on track to play against the 49ers on Sunday. Howden is coming off a 2024 campaign in which he logged 50 tackles (27 solo) and two interceptions in 17 regular-season games.

Howden (oblique) is inactive for Sunday's tilt versus Arizona.
Howden battled an oblique injury throughout the week, though he was able to participate in practice in a limited fashion.

Saints' Jordan Howden: Steps forward in second season
In 17 games in 2024, Howden recorded 50 tackles (27 solo) and two interceptions.
Howden played almost the same number of defensive snaps in 2024 (526) as he did in his rookie season in 2023 (540), but this year he had more tackles and two picks to show for it. He was still firmly behind Tyrann Mathieu and Will Harris in the pecking order for playing time, but with the latter in line to become an unrestricted free agent during the offseason, Howden might end up competing for more reps in 2025.
