Miami Dolphins CB Xavien Howard has undisclosed injury, does not practice

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Miami Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard, who has requested a trade via Instagram, did not practice Friday because of an undisclosed injury.

Howard, an All-Pro selection in 2020 after leading the NFL in interceptions with 10, jogged off the field after the team's warmup Thursday before resurfacing some 40 minutes later and watching the end of practice from the sideline. The team provided no updates on Howard's condition.

Howard took to Instagram on Tuesday night to request a trade over his displeasure about his contract.

"I don't feel valued, or respected, by the Dolphins," Howard said in his post on Tuesday night.
