Xavien Howard DB, Miami Dolphins


Dolphins CB Xavien Howard (knee) isn't sure if he'll play in Week 1.

Coach Brian Flores said Howard is "trending in the right direction." It's looking like Howard's status could end up a gametime decision. Howard made only five appearances in a lost 2019. The Dolphins are counting on him staying healthy opposite Byron Jones.

Preston Williams WR, Miami Dolphins


Preston Williams (knee) is expected to play in Week 1.

Williams practiced on a limited basis at Dolphins camp. This confirms he’s on track to play coming off last year’s torn ACL. We’ve seen reports Williams could open the season on a snap count, and he’s looking doubtful to see his 85 percent snap rate before landing on IR. The Dolphins have a shy-away matchup with the Patriots in Week 1.

Howard needs to put in work.

Can we get 16 games from the guy?
 
I predict great years for both. X is elite and Preston could one day be elite.

Depends how he plays (or not) this year, I would say.

Dead cap would still be nearly 7 mil next year. If he plays well, I guess you could find a trade partner.

If he spends half the season on IR again, you could be right.

I think one way or another Howard is gone if he doesn’t return to Pro Bowl form. I would prefer a trade as the out in his contract is in 2022, but realistically he might just be released. I think it is $6.7M vs $2.8M dead cap if he is released in 2021.
 
People keep trying to get rid of x for reasons that make zero sense.

if he plays with consistent technique which is his calling card he’s one of the best in the game.

I think he plays week 1. I saw him earlier when he came off Covid/pup and he looked pretty damn fluid to me.

I don’t think anyone wants to get rid of X......but his injury problems are a bit chronic at this point. When healthy, the guy is elite. But you have to be able to depend on him to be on the field
 
I think his injury stuff is a little overblown. Last year they decided to shelve him in a season we were going nowhere. If he gives you 12 games of #1 worthy corner play I think you sign up for it in 2020 if you are the dolphins
