Howard was waived by the Bears on Saturday.

Howard posted 23 tackles in eight games for Kansas City last season, but a poor preseason led to his departure from Chicago. He's a candidate to be picked up by a team looking for depth on its defensive front.

Howard (hip) doesn't appear on the injury report ahead of Saturday's preseason game against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Howard (hip) expects to be fully cleared before the start of training camp, Brad Biggs of The Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Howard underwent offseason surgery to remove bone spurs in his hip, which was the injury that sidelined him for the final eight games of the 2016 season.

EDGE Analysis

Howard was released by the Chiefs, where he spent four seasons, in mid-April after his 2016 campaign ended early due to a hip injury.

Howard's 2016 campaign ended prematurely after being placed on IR in December due to a hip injury, but he had recently been progressing through rehab with expectations of being fully recovered for training camp.

EDGE Analysis
