Early life

College career

Howard signed with Northern Iowa in 2005 as a tight end.[3] He was redshirted during the 2005 season.

He joined the school's basketball team in December 2005 as a forward,[2] and on December 22, he scored four points and blocked three shots in a game against Hawaii Pacific.[4]

On December 1, 2007 in a game against the Delaware Fightin' Blue Hens, Howard caught a touchdown pass from Eric Sanders to bring the Panthers within five points of Delaware, but the Blue Hens ended up winning the game, 39–27.[5] He started in all 13 games at tight end in 2007.[6] He made five receptions for 38 yards.[7]

2015 season

On October 11, 2015, in a game against the Denver Broncos, Howard attempted a chop block on Denver Broncos' linebacker Von Miller but missed, allowing Miller to sack Raiders quarterback Derek Carr, forcing Carr to fumble and changing the momentum of a game that ultimately ended in a Raiders loss. On December 19, 2015, Howard was placed on injured reserve with a knee injury, after starting 13 games with the Raiders at right tackle.[24]

2016 season

Howard played in 11 games with 10 starts with the Raiders at right tackle, having dealing with an ankle injury that caused him to miss five games.

On July 28, 2017, Howard was released by the Raiders.[25]

Baltimore Ravens (second stint)

On August 4, 2017, Howard signed a three-year, $16 million contract with the Ravens after significant injuries to the team's offensive line during training camp.[26] He started all 16 games at right tackle for the Ravens in 2017.

On March 13, 2018, the Ravens declined the option on Howard's contract, making him a free agent.[27]

Indianapolis Colts

On May 9, 2018, Howard signed with the Indianapolis Colts.[28] He was released on September 1, 2018.[29]

Washington Redskins

Howard was signed by the Washington Redskins on November 5, 2018, following season ending injuries to starting offensive linemen Brandon Scherff, and Shawn Lauvao.[30] He played in five games, starting one at right guard, before being placed on injured reserve with a hip injury on December 21.[31]
