Howard (foot) was fully cleared for football activities earlier this month, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports. This news, which was relayed by Howard's doctor in a letter, should help pave the way for the free agent cornerback, who dealt with a foot issue late last season, to catch on with another team. Prior to missing Miami's last two contests (Week 18 and the team's wild-card loss to Kansas City), Howard -- a four-time Pro Bowler -- had recorded 45 tackles and an interception in 13 games.

Latest News
Past foot injury
Howard (foot) was fully cleared for football activities earlier this month, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports. This news, which was relayed by Howard's doctor in a letter, should help pave the way for the free agent cornerback, who dealt with a foot issue late last season, to catch on with another team. Prior to missing Miami's last two contests (Week 18 and the team's wild-card loss to Kansas City), Howard -- a four-time Pro Bowler -- had recorded 45 tackles and an interception in 13 games.
Released with failed physical
Howard (foot) was released by the Dolphins on Wednesday with a failed physical and post-June 1 designation. This move was expected after the Dolphins informed Howard in February that he would be released at the start of the league year. Once healthy, Howard will likely be in high demand, as the 30-year-old cornerback is a four-time Pro Bowler and has posted at least 12 passes defensed in six of the past seven seasons.
Questionable after limited sessions
Howard was limited in all three of Miami's practices ahead of Sunday morning's game in Frankfurt, Germany. The cornerback last took the field in Week 6 against the Panthers. If Howard suits up Sunday, Miami will have the cornerback duo of Howard and Jalen Ramsey active simultaneously for the first time.
