Howard Activated

Good news, but don't expect much out of him for a while, he has alot of catching up to do.
 
He's a corner, it's his job to catch up.

If he can play, it will be evident right away. I believe RB and CB to be the truest plug and play position's. You either can or can't run.
 
Probably a bit earlier than expected. Really looking forward to seeing what he can do when he suits up. Much better news than if we had to wait until the end of the pre-season for him to be active.
 
Now if we can just get Kenyan Drake back to practice! Tunsil to start. Grant more return experience...this draft class may start looking pretty decent.
 
Sure hope that he is the most impressive rookie cb in years! No pressure!
 
All I've looked at are his highlight clips on YT, but the guy looks stiff to me - lot of straight line speed, but little agility or recovery burst. I'm not keen on this pick. Hope I'm wrong.
 
i was very optimistic that the "ready by the first game of the regular season" prognosis was extremely pessimistic.
 
He will practice on Sunday, hopefully he can go all week i expect him to play most of the last game in preseason. I doubt he plays preseason week 3 vs ATL
 
he needs to play 4 quarters next week and 4 quarters in the last preseason game.

I kind of agree. His highlights didn't pop. He has a solid frame and from a blurb I saw here and there, he seems to be really confident - which you need as a CB.

He doesn't look slow, but he definitely needs technique work.

I was surprised that Jamar Taylor failed, he looked good at Boise and had a good frame on him as well.

Our DB's have been less than stellar since Surtain and Madison.

No one named Jamar should be drafted by the Fins from this point on.

4 quarters next week? I doubt that...I would imagine they are going to ease him back in slowly so they dont have any setbacks...next week maybe a few series against ATL and last game against tenn I imagine around a quarter...he will have 10 full days in between the last preseason and season opener in seattle...i'm sure they will be very cautious
 
I doubt he plays next week...games on a thursday last day of practice on field will be tuesday i would think...3 days isnt enough

Play in the preseason finale

Hes got a lot of catching up to do
