Dolphins’ Xavien Howard Goes Down in a Heap – Injury Concerns Grow
The Miami Dolphins entered their matchup against the Tennessee Titans feeling unusually optimistic and confident in their chances. Despite the Titans’ formidable lineup, the Dolphins had a 7-man inactives list and seemingly held the advantage. Unfortunately, Xavien Howard had other plans.
The starting cornerback, who had no prior injury concerns, went down in a heap on the field, as if he had tripped. After being attended to briefly by teammates and medical staff, Howard was unable to get the feeling back and was taken off the field in a cart.
While no further information on Howard’s condition has been released, the injury looks to be quite serious with his neck not being able to support his own weight. This is a major concern for both the Dolphins and their fans as they had just given Howard an $20 million contract for the next three years of his career and he had shown every sign of becoming a star player for the team.
However, the team remains hopeful and confident that their star player will make a speedy recovery and get back on the field soon.
In a statement released after the game, the Dolphins medical team gave no information on Howard’s injury other than that he was being evaluated for further medical tests.
Meanwhile, the Dolphins have suffered another major blow as their defensive star is likely out for the remainder of the season. However, the team is still optimistic and committed to pushing past this tough obstacle in the hope of getting their star back on the field soon.
In the meantime, the Dolphins have started to prepare for the rest of the season without Howard, making sure that the rest of the team has the tools to make up for his absence.
Furthermore, the Dolphins have also made sure to keep their fans up to date with Howard’s condition, providing weekly updates and releasing a statement that reassured fans that his injury is not considered serious.
Thankfully, the team also has veteran players on their defense that can step up in the interim.
Unfortunately, Howard’s injury could be a huge blow to the Dolphins’ hopes of making it to the playoffs. With that said, the team is no stranger to adversity and will continue to rely on its strong defense in order to survive the rest of the season.
Although the Dolphins will have to face the Titans without Howard, the team is confident that with the right set of tools and a lot of hard work, they can come up with a winning formula that will help them make it through the rest of the season and possibly even to the playoffs.
In conclusion, there is no denying the fact that Xavien Howard’s injury is a major setback for the Dolphins. However, if the team remains optimistic and continues to put in the work, there is still a chance for them to make it to the playoffs even without their star corner.
