Xavien Howard GTD

Xavien Howard (knee) returns to Dolphins practice Wednesday

Miami Dolphins defensive back Xavien Howard (knee) returned to a limited practice on Wednesday.

What It Means:

This puts Howard on track to play Week 16 versus the Jacksonville Jaguars after missing the past two games. His return will be a downgrade for an already decrepit Jacksonville pass offense. The 25-year-old corner is tied for the league lead in interceptions and just received his first Pro Bowl birth.

The Dolphins D/ST is 7th in numberFire's Week 16 fantasy rankings.
