Let me rephrase that last line. The Miami Dolphins will have Pro Bowl cornerback Xavien Howard back in the lineup this Sunday against the Jaguars.
Howard has missed two games with a knee injury but returned to practice today. The Dolphins are holding out a slim amount of hope that they can make the post-season but will need quite a bit of help. Miami will not however have safety T.J. McDonald who will likely miss this weekends game with an ankle injury. The Dolphins re-signed Maurice Smith off the practice squad to take his place if indeed he is inactive.
