Miami Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard will start training camp on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list. The move means Howard will not be able practice with the team as he continues to rehabilitate from a knee injury that cost him most of the 2019 season. The 2018 Pro Bowl selection had surgery in the offseason on the knee.
The Dolphins will be able to work with Howard in his rehabilitation and can activate him from the PUP list whenever he is medically cleared to practice. If the injury continues into the regular season, Miami could then move him to the Reserve/PUP list, which would cause him to miss the first six weeks of the season before Miami would be allowed to have Howard practice with the team or play in games.
