When the Miami Dolphins took the field on Wednesday for the first day of the team’s mandatory minicamp they did so with cornerback Xavien Howard making his debut for the 2022 offseason.
Howard received a new extension in April after the two sides had tabled discussions until the end of the season.
For the first time since 2018, Howard took the field without Brian Flores as his head coach. Mike McDaniel stands in that role now. However, the cornerback still has defensive coordinator Josh Boyer overseeing that side of the ball, and he understands the importance of having him around.
