Xavien Howard leaves Miami Dolphins practice with ‘minor injury’; returns as observer

Every day, it seems like there’s a new twist and turns in the Miami Dolphins' ongoing contract dispute with All-Pro cornerback Xavien Howard.

Today, ‘minor injury’ has entered the chat.

According to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, Xavien Howard left practice with what is being reported as a minor injury and did not return.

Now forgive me if it sounds like I’m poking fun at the injury. There’s nothing funny about a player being hurt. But after appearing fully healthy a day ago and seemingly having no issues, this seems strange.
