Xavien Howard: Breaking News

Hangs up cleats

The Colts placed Howard on the reserve/retired list Wednesday. Howard had played at least 80 percent of defensive snaps in three straight games for the Colts, but he has abruptly called an end to his career. At his prime, he was an excellent ball-hawking corner, picking off 27 passes across 65 games from 2017 to 2021.

Recovers fumble in Colts debut

Howard started at cornerback opposite Charvarius Ward and recovered a fumble but did not have a tackle in Sunday's win over Miami. Howard played on 31 of the defense's 47 snaps and didn't allow a reception on two passes targeted his way, according to Pro Football Focus. After missing 2024 with a foot injury, Howard looked back to full speed and should add a needed steady veteran presence to Indy's secondary.

Signs with Indy

The Colts signed Howard on Monday, Stephen Holder of ESPN.com reports. The Colts are dealing with injuries to cornerbacks JuJu Brents (hamstring), Jaylon Jones (hamstring), Kenny Moore (knee) and Johnathan Edwards (concussion), so it's an ideal landing spot for Howard. He spent the entire 2024 season out of the league after the Dolphins released Howard with a failed physical designation due to a foot injury he dealt with in 2023. Howard is a four-time Pro Bowl selection and was named a first-team All-Pro in 2020, but he turned 32 years old last month.
