Mandatory Credit: Sam Navarro-Imagn Images The Cincinnati Bengals are meeting with free agent cornerback Xavien Howard and running back Leonard Fournette on Monday, NFL Network reported.
Howard, 31, made four Pro Bowls and played in 100 games (99 starts) for the Miami Dolphins from 2016-23.
The Dolphins released Howard on March 13 in a cost-cutting move, saving an estimated $18.5 million.
The Bengals (4-6) are looking for help in the secondary as they try to make a playoff push, per the report.
Howard tallied 29 interceptions (two returned for touchdowns), 95 passes defensed and 331 tackles with Miami.
The Bengals are eyeing Fournette for their practice squad, per the report. The team traded for Khalil Herbert last week after placing RB Zack Moss (neck) on injured reserve.
Fournette, 29, appeared in two games last year with the Buffalo Bills, rushing for 40 yards on 12 carries. The former No. 4 overall pick in 2017 has rushed for 4,518 yards and 34 touchdowns in 81 games (61 starts) for the Jacksonville Jaguars (2017-19), Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2020-22) and Bills.
