He could be fully ready for the tentative start of offseason activities.

Rams' Travin Howard: Shut down for season
Rotowire
Head coach Sean McVay said Howard will undergo surgery to repair a torn meniscus, and he'll miss the 2020 season, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Howard played all 16 games in 2019 mostly in a special-teams role, but he'll now turn his attention to getting healthy for the 2021 campaign.

Rotowire
Howard (knee) sat out Saturday's practice, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Howard has enjoyed occasional first-team snaps on the Rams' defense, but he's not a lock for a starting role. He'll need to beat out either Micah Kiser or Troy Reeder, and any missed time works against Howard, so he'll seek a quick return to the field.
