Coach Adam Gase announced cornerback Xavien Howard "got tangled up" during practice Tuesday and suffered an injury that has put him under care of doctors. The coach said team doctors have been examining the rookie but others might be looking at him later on.

Gase gave no certainty that Howard is missing the game against the Tennessee Titans Sunday. He also gave no certainty Howard would be available to play.
"We're dealing with both contingencies," Gase said. "That's ball."
The Dolphins planned to give Byron Maxwell, benched last week against Cincinnati, a chance at playing time Sunday. He would be starting if Howard cannot play. It would be Maxwell and Tony Lippett starting.
If Howard can play, which reading between the lines doesn't sound like the most likely possibility, it would be Howard and Lippett with Maxwell working in.

And the good news keeps rolling on in...
 
Is this Jake Long all over again? Same knee as in preseason. Potential derailed by injuries...because Dolphins.

Howard is a future number 1. Don't play down his ability.

Now as for the other CBs, yeah they blow.

I'm not downplaying his ability. I'm saying everyone else's ceiling is below average. He's the only one with the ability to be a legit starter
 
Judging by the way Gase said what he said about the status I have to think it's serious. fingers crossed.
