Tampa Bay Buccaneers TE O.J. Howard (Achilles) is ‘real close’ to fully recovering from the torn Achilles that ended his season in Week 4, according to head coach Bruce Arians.

Footballguys View: We should see Howard limited in the offseason as the team eases him back into action. Howard has yet to run on grass, but he has also not experienced any setbacks. They should ramp him up as training camp gets here.
