Xavien Howard’s doctor informed NFL teams that the free agent cornerback has been cleared for all football activities, NFL Network reported on Wednesday.
Howard, who dealt with a nagging foot injury last season, recorded 45 tackles, 12 pass breakups and one interception in 13 games (all starts) in 2023 with the Miami Dolphins. He was released by the club with a post-June 1 designation last month.
Howard, 30, is a four-time Pro Bowl selection and former first-team All-Pro.
He led the NFL in interceptions in both 2018 (seven) and 2020 (10). Overall, he has totaled 29 picks to go along with 331 tackles, five fumble recoveries and four forced fumbles in 100 career games (99 starts) since being selected by the Dolphins in the second round of the 2016 NFL Draft.
