tight end suffered an achilles injury on Sunday and was ruled out for the remainder of the game vs. the Los Angeles Chargers, per James Palmer of NFL.com.

The 2019 season was a disappointing one for the 24-year-old Howard. The 2017 first-round pick had a breakthrough year in 2018, catching 34 catches for 565 yards and five scores in 10 games, showing the potential that made him a high draft selection.
