The Facts: HC Bruce Arians says Howard is "real close" to getting fully back from his 2020 injury.

Diehards Line: Howard is not running on grass yet but he has had no setbacks. Arians says "the sky's the limit" for Howard in 2021 following his recovery from the ruptured Achilles tendon he suffered last October. Assuming he is at full speed, Howard will compete with Rob Gronkowski and Cameron Brate for looks at the position. Given the crowd at the position, consistent volume could be an issue.
