Howard sat out the 2024 season with a lingering injury after spending the first eight years of his career with the Dolphins

Howard's signing will put him on an active roster for the first time since the Miami Dolphins cut the four-time Pro Bowl selection and 2020 All-Pro in February 2024. Howard has dealt with a number of injuries in recent years, but the Colts conducted an in-person workout with him, with a team source describing his performance as "really good."

Four-time Pro Bowl cornerback Xavien Howard has agreed to a contract with the Indianapolis Colts, agent David Canter told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
