From the article

Howard's two touchdowns certainly aren't a bad thing, but the stat sheet didn't tell the full story, with the pass-catcher doing the bulk of the work on each score after fairly easy, short completions. Howard also upped his total to three interceptions this preseason

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Howard's 3 INTs and poor pressure performance signal practice squad/IR outcome.

QB in preseason battle finished with 2 TDs but 3 INTs total through three preseason games; stat sheet misleading as pass-catchers did bulk of work on TD scores after easy short completions; looked uncomfortable under pressure with rough sacks and poor composure/mobility; added turnover on miscommunication with rookie TE Lake McRee; neither performance nor trajectory suggests QB1 potential; likely headed to practice squad or injured reserve to start September.
