EDGE Analysis

Howard had to be carted off the field Thursday after sustaining the injury during red-zone drills. Klis also reported that preliminary x-rays offered some encouragement for the situation. Howard spent the 2017 season on the Browns' practice squad and didn't play for an NFL team last season.

Howard signed a contract with the Broncos on Monday, Zac Stevens of BSNDenver.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Howard went undrafted out of North Carolina in 2017 and spent his rookie season on the Browns' practice squad. He did not play for an NFL team in 2018. The 6-foot-4, 221-pound wideout will work to flash on special teams in the hope of earning a depth role.

Howard signed a contract with the Panthers on Monday, Jordan Rodrigue of the Charlotte Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Howard (6-foot-4, 221 pounds), who went undrafted in 2017, participated in the Panthers' rookie minicamp last weekend after spending his rookie season on the Browns' practice squad. The North Carolina product offers plus size for the position, but he's also the owner of a 4.58-second 40 time and has struggled to consistently create separation from NFL-caliber cornerbacks. He might need to flash on special teams in order to stick around in Carolina.

Howard was waived by Cleveland on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Howard went undrafted out of North Carolina in 2017, and was signed by Cleveland after playing limited third-team preseason snaps with the Colts. After spending 2017 as an emergency WR option with the Browns and failing to make his NFL debut, Howard will spend the offseason competing for a depth role elsewhere.

The Browns signed Howard to a reserve/future contract Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Howard went undrafted out of North Carolina last spring only to spend the preseason with the Colts. However, he didn't survive final roster cuts in Indianapolis and latched on with the Browns' practice squad in September. Standing six feet and four inches tall while weighing in at a lanky 210 pounds, Howard offers appealing size for his position and will compete for slotting at the bottom of the receiver depth chart.
