During the 1976 NFL season, Howard had a knee injury during a preseason game and required to sit out the remainder of the season. The following season, he re-injured his knee during a veteran's orientation session in the 1977 training camp, causing him to sit out the entire season. For Super Bowl XII he served the Cowboys in a scouting role since he was still trying to recover from his injury. He was released by Dallas before the 1978 season and claimed by the Green Bay Packers, but failed his physical with the Packers as his knee had never fully recovered. The 34 yard touchdown catch in Super Bowl X, turned out to be Howard's only career reception and his last game in the NFL. Still, he would become part of the Cowboys lore and was named #6 on NFL Top 10's Top Ten One-Shot Wonders.
