Heading into the 2024 NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers have a few needs. One of them is cornerback. They’ve got last year’s second-round pick, Joey Porter Jr., but they could really use a corner opposite him. There are still free agents on the market and Xavien Howard just cleared a big hurdle toward being ready for 2024.

According to Tom Pelissero, Howard has been cleared to resume all football-related activities after recovering from a foot injury.

“Four-time Pro Bowl CB Xavien Howard was fully cleared for football activities earlier this month, his doctor informed teams in a letter,” Pelissero wrote.
