The Saints cut Howard from their practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Howard has jumped between the Saints' practice squad and their active roster dating back to when he first arrived in New Orleans on Oct. 12, but he's since been let go following Tuesday's transaction. Across his two appearances this season, the veteran running back recorded just four offensive snaps, translating to one yard on one carry in that span.

The Saints reverted Howard to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

EDGE Analysis

Howard got his second straight elevation to the active roster Week 10, but he played just three snaps, logging one carry for one yard against Pittsburgh. New Orleans played Alvin Kamara on 37 of 47 offensive snaps while Dwayne Washington received four snaps, leaving Howard to fill a very minor role. Howard could see action again in Week 11 against the Rams if Mark Ingram (knee) remains out, but he is unlikely to be on the field enough to be viable in fantasy.

New Orleans elevated Howard from its practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game at the Steelers, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Mark Ingram (knee) having been ruled out again for Week 10, Howard figures to be in uniform for the Saints for a second consecutive week. The 28-year-old tailback played just one offensive snap in Week 9.

Howard reverted to the Saints' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.

EDGE Analysis

Howard signed to New Orleans' practice squad back on Oct. 12, and he finally received his first promotion to the team's active roster prior to Monday's loss to the Ravens. In the game, the 28-year-old logged just one offensive snap and failed to record a stat. Howard is now slated to return to the practice squad as an emergency depth option, but he could once again be elevated to the Saints' 53-man roster if Mark Ingram (knee) is unable to gain medical clearance before Sunday's contest in Pittsburgh.

The Saints elevated Howard to the active roster Monday, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran running back joined the Saints' practice squad Oct. 12 after New Orleans lost Latavius Murray to the Broncos and Tony Jones to the Seahawks. With Mark Ingram (knee) sidelined, Howard will have a chance to make his 2022 debut Monday against the Ravens after being elevated to the Saints' active roster, though Alvin Kamara will likely dominate the snaps at running back.

The Saints signed Howard to their practice squad Wednesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

EDGE Analysis

Howard appeared in seven games for the Eagles last year, totaling 88 touches for 425 yards and three scores, but he wasn't signed this offseason and remained a free agent heading into the 2022 campaign. However, he's landed a practice-squad job with the Saints, who recently lost Latavius Murray to the Broncos and Tony Jones to the Seahawks. Howard likely won't be elevated to the active roster as long as Alvin Kamara, Mark Ingram and Dwayne Washington are healthy.

Howard hauled in his lone target for seven yards in Sunday's 31-15 loss to Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

Howard began the 2021 campaign on the Eagles' practice squad but joined the active roster for the first time at the end of October. He landed a contract in November and appeared in seven total regular-season games. He recorded double-digit touches in each of those appearances but was limited in the wild-card round because Miles Sanders and Boston Scott were available. Across his seven regular-season appearances, Howard tallied 86 carries for 406 yards and three touchdowns while catching two of five targets for 19 yards. The 27-year-old is slated to become an unrestricted free agent during the offseason.

Howard and Boston Scott are expected to rotate in behind lead option Miles Sanders (hand) for reps out of the backfield in Sunday's wild-card game against the Buccaneers, Mike Kaye of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

EDGE Analysis

Howard and Scott were sidelined for the regular-season finale against Dallas due to stints on the reserve/COVID-19 list, while Sanders was out for the second game in a row as he continued to recover from hand surgery. When Sanders was idle for the Week 17 win in Washington, Scott played a position-leading 52 percent of the offensive snaps and took 14 carries for 47 yards and two scores to go with four receptions for 39 yards, while Howard played 34 percent of snaps and finished with 11 carries for 26 yards. Both Howard and Scott will be hard pressed to see double-digit touches in the postseason opener, as head coach Nick Sirianni said that Sanders will face "no limitations" this Sunday after practicing fully Friday, according to Geoff Mosher of InsideTheBirds.com. That said, Sanders hasn't topped 60 percent of snaps since Week 6, so the Eagles should have small roles in the game plan available for both Howard and Scott. Scott is a decent bet to serve as a change-of-pace option who can relieve Sanders if there's any question about his ability to catch the ball securely in his return from the hand injury, while Howard's sturdy six-foot, 222-pound frame makes him well suited for short-yardage and goal-line work.

The Eagles activated Howard (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Philadelphia returned all of its players on the virus list to the active roster ahead of Sunday's wild-card game in Tampa Bay, including three key skill-position players in Howard and Boston Scott along with tight end Dallas Goedert. Meanwhile, No. 1 back Miles Sanders (hand) was sidelined along with Howard and Scott in the Eagles' Week 18 loss to the Cowboys, which allowed Kenneth Gainwell (12 carries for 78 yards and a touchdown, four catches for nine yards) to fill a three-down role. Sanders' status for the first round of the playoffs this weekend isn't yet clear, but if he's not ready to go, Howard and Scott likely would share most of the carries, while Gainwell would serve as more of a change-of-pace option.

Howard (illness) remains on the reserve/COVID-19 list ahead of Saturday's game against the Cowboys, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

As does Boston Scott (illness), and with Miles Sanders out with a hand injury, look for Kenneth Gainwell to head the Eagles' Week 18 rushing attack, while Jason Huntley is available to mix in as well. Howard and Scott thus will need to clear the NFL's COVID-19 protocols in order to be available for the team's postseason opener next weekend.
