NFL:
How does Howell's preseason showing affect his odds to be Week 1 backup in Minnesota, and what would it take for him to reclaim the role?
Qwiket AI:
Howell needs a clean, decisive performance with quick reads and accurate throws, preferably in live game situations. A strong showing in the next game could quiet chatter about other veterans; a poor showing likely hands the reins to a safer, seasoned option. The Vikings will weigh pocket presence, decision-making, and how he handles pressure in real time.
