GREEN BAY, Wis. — The Green Bay Packers offense could be back at full strength to start the stretch run of the season with the return of wide receiver Allen Lazard.
The Packers’ No. 2 threat in the passing game was added to the 53-man roster Tuesday, nearly three weeks after he returned to practice following core muscle surgery.
Combined with the return of All-Pro left tackle David Bakhtiari for last Sunday’s victory over the Jaguars and the return of running back Aaron Jones for the previous week’s win against the 49ers, the Packers (7-2) should have their full complement to surround Aaron Rodgers in time for one of their toughest remaining games — at the Colts on Sunday — as long as Davante Adams’ ankle holds up.
DAVIE, Fla. — The Miami Dolphins waived running Jordan Howard on Monday in what coach Brian Flores called a “mutual parting.”
Howard, who signed a two-year, $9.75 million deal with $4.75 million guaranteed in March, has been a free-agent disappointment for Miami. He will go on waivers; Howard, and the rest of his prorated $1.75 million salary, will be up for grabs for anyone to claim.
“A lot of respect for him and respect for the way he worked. No ill will, just thought it was best for both parties,” Flores said.
