The Miami Dolphins opened their 2021 veteran minicamp on Tuesday, starting a three-day stretch of practices and meetings designed to ensure players are grasping the new offensive playbook and picking up tweaks to the defense. The team can hold two practices a day for a total of 3.5 hours, with the second workout limited to a walkthrough. This is the only mandatory event during the offseason for veterans and one that signals the start of contract holdouts if a player does not show up.
That is the exact situation when it comes to cornerback Xavien Howard.
