The Miami Dolphins added a new piece to their backfield on Tuesday when they agreed to sign running back Jordan Howard.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported that the Dolphins and Howard are "closing in on a deal."
While Howard may not represent a season-altering addition, he isn't far removed from back-to-back 1,000-yard efforts. After he entered the league as a fifth-round draft pick in 2016 out of Indiana University, he tallied a career-best 1,313 rushing yards, 298 receiving yards and seven total touchdowns as a rookie for the Chicago Bears.
