mÃƒÂƒÃ‚Â¾HOWARD RETURNS: Right defensive end Darren Howard, who has been sidelined since dislocating his right wrist near the end of the first quarter of the season opener on Sept. 7, returned to practice Wednesday.

Howard, a four-year veteran who has 25 sacks in his first three seasons, worked with the scout squad Wednesday and expects to play Nov. 16 against the Falcons.

He had the pins in his wrist removed a week ago is wearing a soft cast off the field. Howard will wear a hard cast with lots of tape and bandages wrapped around it in games.

"It felt like home," a beaming Howard said after practice. "It was the first time I was out there, and it felt good. There wasn't a lot of pain, I just have to get my confidence back using it on the field."

Here\'s another update from yesterday it from KFFL.
With Howard comming back it should help Grant , offenses will not be able to check for him as much. Great news, can hardly wait and see how quick he gets back to full speed.

Saints | Howard Limited, Could Play Against Falcons
Wed, 5 Nov 2003 18:35:03 -0800

Jeff Duncan, the New Orleans Times-Picayune, reports New Orleans Saints DE Darren Howard (wrist) practiced on a limited basis Wednesday, Nov. 5. Head coach Jim Haslett said Howard could play Sunday, Nov. 9, against the Atlanta Falcons, but probably will not start. The most likely scenario would be for Howard to gradually work his way into the lineup, playing solely in passing situations at first.

Ford was activated for last weeks game with the Bucs. I think he\'ll be available for this game too.
