Xavien Howard Fantasy

Miami Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard (groin) suffered a groin injury in Thursday's Week 4 game against the Cincinnati Bengals and is questionable to return. Before leaving the contest, Howard had two tackles (one solo). Miami's aggressive defense has done a pretty good job of containing Cincinnati's explosive passing attack through three quarters on Thursday night, but potentially losing Howard for the rest of the contest could make things difficult for Miami's secondary to close out the game. The 29-year-old was on the weekly injury report with a groin injury leading up to Thursday's game, so he obviously aggravated the injury in this one.

Miami Dolphins defensive back Xavien Howard has agreed to a new extension with the organization. The three-time Pro Bowl corner agreed to a restructured contract last season. The assumption was that a new deal would be discussed in the offseason. That was the truth as Howard agreed to a five-year deal with $50 million in new money. He receives the most guaranteed money for a defensive back in history. This deal is well deserved for one of the best defensive backs in the league right now.

The Miami Dolphins reportedly are reworking defensive back Xavien Howard's contract to remain with the team in 2022. Dolphins general manager Chris Grier said, "he made a promise to revisit the deal after adjusting it last summer." The 28-year-old racked up 50 tackles, a sack, five interceptions, two forced fumbles, and two defensive touchdowns over 16 games in 2021. He requested a trade last offseason but agreed to stay with the Dolphins on a reworked contract. Howard and Miami will meet to renegotiate a new contract in 2022. Stay tuned for further updates.
