Jaelan Phillips Injury News & Updates
Nov 11, 2025
Shines in Philly debut
Phillips totaled six tackles (four solo) and recovered a fumble in a 10-7 victory against the Packers on Monday Night Football.
ANALYSIS
Phillips played his first game for the Eagles after being acquired in a trade with the Dolphins last Monday. The veteran linebacker looked good in his team debut, notching two quarterback hits and eight QB pressures. Phillips also came up with arguably the biggest stop of the game, assisting on a tackle of Josh Jacobs behind the line of scrimmage on a Packers 4th-and-1 with under two minutes remaining in the matchup. It's been only one game, but it looks like the Eagles' acquisition of Phillips could pay huge dividends for a club looking to repeat as Super Bowl champions.
Nov 3, 2025
Being traded to Eagles
The Eagles are slated to acquire Phillips from the Dolphins in exchange for a 2026 third-round draft pick, ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
After having added cornerbacks Michael Carter and Jaire Alexander in trades last week, the Eagles continue to bolster their defense by adding Phillips, who should help boost the team's pass rush. In nine games with Miami, the 2021 first-rounder -- who is in the final year of his contract -- recorded 25 tackles and three sacks.
Nov 2, 2025
Most likely Dolphin dealt
Phillips is the Dolphins' pass rusher most likely to be dealt by Tuesday's trade deadline, Jay Glazer reported on Fox NFL Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Pass rushers are in demand, and the Dolphins are likely sellers at 2-7 following Thursday's loss to the Ravens. Moreover, they just fired their GM, suggesting that they wanted a new architect for their franchise in advance of the trade deadline. Opposing teams might also inquire into trading for Bradley Chubb and Matthew Judon, but Phillips is the primary target.
Nov 1, 2025
Sacks Jackson in Week 9 loss
Phillips recorded four tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, during Miami's 28-6 loss to Baltimore on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Phillips took down Lamar Jackson for a six-yard sack midway through the fourth quarter, which led to the Ravens punting the ball away on the next play. Phillips failed to log a sack through the first four games of the regular season, but he has recorded 14 tackles (10 solo), including 3.0 sacks, over his last five games.
Aug 24, 2025
Two tackles in final exhibtion
Phillips recorded two tackles and 0.5 sacks in Saturday's 14-6 preseason win over Jacksonville.
ANALYSIS
Phillips has been brought back slowly in training camp and the preseason while recovering from a torn ACL. He suited up for his preseason debut Saturday and was on the field for 19 snaps, an encouraging sign for his role heading into a Week 1 matchup against the Colts.
Aug 12, 2025
Labeled as day-to-day
Phillips (knee) is considered day-to-day, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Phillips didn't play in the Dolphins' preseason opener against the Bears this past Sunday after he was injured in practice Aug. 2. Phillips' previous two seasons were ruined by serious injuries, first an Achilles tear in 2023 before a torn ACL ended his 2024 campaign.
Aug 10, 2025
Unlikely to play Sunday
Based on pre-game warmups, Phillips (knee) is not in line to play against the Bears on Sunday, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Phillips is still working through a left knee injury that he suffered in practice in early August. The injury doesn't appear to be severe, but the Dolphins will play it conservatively to avoid aggravation. Phillips' next chance to play will be Saturday against the Lions.
Aug 2, 2025
Leaves practice with knee injury
Phillips left Saturday's training camp practice due to a left knee injury, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Phillips had his left knee checked on by trainers, but he relayed on social media that the injury was "just a bruise," per Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post. Still, the injury is worth monitoring given Phillips' injury history over the last two seasons, including in 2024 when he suffered a partially torn ACL in his other knee. The 2021 first-rounder is slated to serve as the Dolphins' second starting edge rusher opposite Bradley Chubb.
Jul 25, 2025
Cleared to practice
Phillips (knee) participated in Friday's practice, Yianni Kourakis of WPBF News reports.
ANALYSIS
Phillips suffered a partial right ACL tear in early October that ended his 2024 campaign. He was able to participate in OTAs in a limited capacity and has progressed enough in his recovery to be fully active in practices for training camp. Phillips has played just 12 regular-season games over the last two years but is expected to be the Dolphins' second starting edge rusher opposite Bradley Chubb.
May 28, 2025
Active during OTAs
Phillips (knee) is participating in a limited capacity during OTAs, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Per David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel, Coach Mike McDaniel said Wednesday that Phillips can drill in most sessions most days, but that the team will take a cautious approach at this point. The ACL tear that ended Phillips' 2024 season prematurely back in October was only partial, perhaps accelerating his recovery process somewhat. When he's healthy, he figures to have a significant role on the edge for Miami along with Bradley Chubb and Chop Robinson.
Oct 3, 2024
Moves to IR
Phillips (knee) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Phillips was already reportedly out for the season due to a partial right ACL tear suffered in Monday's loss to the Titans. So, his shift to IR makes sense, which created a roster spot that the Dolphins used to sign fellow linebacker Tyus Bowser. Phillips will now focus on his recovery, with an eye toward a return in 2025, the final year of his rookie contract.
Oct 3, 2024
Recovering from partial ACL tear
Phillips (knee) suffered a season-ending partial right ACL tear during Monday's loss to the Titans, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Phillips was limited to eight regular-season appearances last season, with most of his missed time come as the result of a torn Achilles sustained Week 12. The standout pass rusher was able to work his way back and gain clearance to play as early as August, but he now faces the task of recovering from yet another serious injury. The Dolphins picked up Phillips' fifth-year option over the offseason, so he will play out the final year of his rookie contract during the 2025 campaign.
Oct 2, 2024
Out for the year
Phillips announced Wednesday that he will miss the remainder of the 2024 season due to a knee injury, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Phillips failed to mention the exact injury to his knee, but the 2021 first-round pick did state that he'll need reconstructive surgery. The Miami product returned to the field this season after sustaining a season-ending Achilles injury eight games into the Dolphins' 2023 campaign. He's appeared in 12 games over the past two years, recording 49 total tackles, including 7.5 sacks, and defended four passes. Expect Emmanuel Ogbah to see more work with Miami's first-team defense now that Phillips has announced he's out for the year.
Oct 1, 2024
Needs further evaluation
Phillips (knee) is still being evaluated for his injury suffered in Monday's loss to the Titans, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Phillips exited the game in the second half and was unable to return. Jackson speculates it's unlikely he'll play in Week 5 against the Patriots due to the short week, but confirmation likely won't come until the team releases its first injury report. Considering the team has a Week 6 bye, it wouldn't be surprising if Phillips ultimately got the week off for extra recovery time.
Sep 30, 2024
Done for night
Phillips (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's contest against the Titans, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Phillips appears to have tweaked his right knee versus Tennessee and he'll now be forced to sit out the rest of Monday Night Football. In his absence, Emmanuel Ogbah will likely see an increase in workload at weakside linebacker.
Sep 19, 2024
Full participant Thursday
Phillips (Achilles) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
The linebacker was a limited participant Wednesday after playing 56 snaps across Miami's first two games. Phillips suffered the Achilles tear last November. The fourth-year pro made two tackles, including a sack, in the Dolphins' first two contests.
Sep 18, 2024
Limited to start week
Phillips (Achilles) was limited in Wednesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Miami continues to bring Phillips on slowly as he recovers from an Achilles tear he sustained last November. Barring any setbacks, the 2021 first-round pick should suit up for Sunday's game against Seattle, though he could remain on a snap count. Phillips has tallied two tackles (one solo), including 1.0 sacks, over the first two games of the regular season.
Sep 11, 2024
Off injury report
Phillips (Achilles) has no injury designation ahead of Thursday night's matchup with the Bills, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Phillips is still recovering from the Achilles injury he sustained in 2023, but it appears he'll be suiting up Thursday night after playing limited snaps in Week 1. The 2021 first-round pick logged 6.5 sacks in just eight regular-season games last season, and he's expected to line up opposite Quinton Bell as part of Miami's top pass-rush unit against the Bills.
Sep 9, 2024
Still tending to injury
Phillips (Achilles) was listed as a limited participant in Monday's practice estimate, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Phillips was on a snap count for Sunday's 20-17 win over the Jaguars, but still played 33 snaps and recorded a 1.0 sack. The Dolphins will likely continue to pay it safe with their first-round selection in the 2021 NFL Draft, especially with the short week, as they host the Bills on Thursday.
Sep 5, 2024
Practices in full Thursday
Phillips (Achilles) was a full participant in practice Thursday, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Phillips was a DNP for Wednesday's session, but he was able to participate in both individual and team drills Thursday. Per David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel, Phillips is expected to operate on a snap count for the Dolphins' regular-season opener against the Jaguars on Sunday, but it could be a soft cap given the 2021 first-round pick was able to practice without restrictions Thursday.
Sep 4, 2024
Will be limited Week 1
Phillips (Achilles) will have a snap count Sunday against the Jaguars, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Phillips was limited in practice Wednesday, as he continues to work himself back to full strength from his Achilles injury in November. However, it does sound like the 2021 first-round selection will be active, although it's not clear how limited he'll be, for Week 1 against Jacksonville. The fact that the Dolphins also play four days later, Thursday, Sept. 12 against the Bills, will factor into how frequently Phillps sees the field Sunday.
Sep 3, 2024
Ready to roll
Phillips (Achilles) is hopeful to play without any restrictions in Week 1, Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Phillips has not officially been cleared for Week 1 yet, but Wednesday's injury report figures to give an update. The star edge rusher has been inching closer to a return since being activated off the PUP list in mid-August. If he indeed ultimately has no restrictions in Sunday's season opening matchup with the Jaguars, it would be beneficial for the Fins' defense.
Aug 19, 2024
Sits out Saturday
Phillips (Achilles) did not play in Saturday's preseason win over the Commanders.
ANALYSIS
Phillips' return is inching closer after he was activated off the PUP list last Monday, but Miami is likely taking the cautious approach with their 2021 first-round selection. His next chance to play will be Friday against the Buccaneers, but it wouldn't be surprising if he didn't suit up again until Week 1 against the Jaguars.
Aug 16, 2024
Still questionable for Saturday
It's unclear whether Phillips (achilles) will play in Saturday's preseason game against Washington, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Phillips is close to a return after tearing his achilles last November, but whether that return is this Saturday or in the near future remains unknown. The 6-foot-5 linebacker looks to be preparing for a Week 1 appearance, but he may need to take the preseason off to do so.
Aug 12, 2024
Activated off PUP
The Dolphins activated Phillips off the active/PUP list Monday, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Phillips is now one step closer to returning to the field after tearing his Achilles last November. The 25-year-old will now look to build off the strong season he had last year before getting injured, where he recorded 6.5 sacks across eight games.
Jul 18, 2024
Heads to PUP list
The Dolphins placed Phillips (Achilles) on the active/PUP list Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Phillips will start training camp on the PUP list as he works his way back from a right Achilles tear. Though he underwent surgery late November, Phillips has stated that he expects to be ready for Week 1 of the regular season, and he'll be eligible to come off the PUP list at any point in camp or the preseason once ready to practice. Miami also placed fellow star pass-rusher Bradley Chubb (knee), who is recovering from an ACL tear, on the PUP list ahead of camp.
Apr 29, 2024
Gets final year
Phillips (Achilles) had his fifth-year option exercised by the Dolphins on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Phillips is expected to be ready by Week 1, and it was previously reported by Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com, that picking up his option was the plan, according to general manager Chris Grier. The 2021 first-round selection was on pace to smash all his career-best totals before tearing his right Achilles in Week 12 and will now look to build off that going into 2024 with two years now left on his contract.
Apr 17, 2024
Set for fifth-year option
The Dolphins plan to pick up the fifth-year contract option of Phillips (Achilles) before May's deadline, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
General manager Chris Grier said Tuesday that Miami intends to pick up the fifth-year options of both Phillips and Jaylen Waddle. A right Achilles tear limited Phillips to just eight games last season, but he's reportedly on track to be ready for Week 1 of the 2024 campaign. He's been one of the Dolphins' more impactful pass rushers over the past three seasons, and the team will be more in need of those talents than ever with Christian Wilkins having moved on to Las Vegas.
Apr 13, 2024
Expects to be ready for season
Phillips said Saturday that he will "definitely be back healthy for the season," Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Phillips tore his Achilles during Miami's win against the Jets on Nov. 24 and underwent surgery less than a week later. He recently indicated on social media that he is walking without a boot, and his comments Saturday lend further optimism about his ability to be ready to suit up in time for the start of the 2024 regular season. Phillips racked up 43 tackles (28 solo), including 6.5 sacks, and an interception over eight games before suffering the Achilles injury last year.
Feb 7, 2024
Walking without boot
Phillips (Achilles) announced Wednesday that he's now walking without a boot.
ANALYSIS
Phillips suffered a torn Achilles' tendon in the Dolphins' Black Friday win over the Jets back in November and is now over two months removed from surgery. He still has a long recovery, but Phillips is showing progress and has a realistic chance to be ready in time for Miami's 2024 opener in seven months.
Nov 29, 2023
Has season-ending surgery
Phillips (Achilles) had surgery Wednesday and will not play for the remainder of the season, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinelreports.
ANALYSIS
The 24-year-old pass rusher sustained his first major professional injury in Friday's win over the Jets. Up to this point in the season, Phillips has blossomed into one of the best young pass rushers in the league, recording 6.5 sacks in just 351 snaps this year compared to his seven sacks in 796 snaps last year. With Phillips sidelined, the Dolphins will rely on veteran Emmanuel Ogbah to fill his role on the defense as they strive to secure a top seed in the AFC.
Nov 28, 2023
Formally placed on IR
The Dolphins placed Phillips (Achilles) on injured reserve Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
The move was merely a formality after Phillips suffered a season-ending torn Achilles in last Friday's win over the Jets. In a corresponding move, the Dolphins signed veteran edge rusher Jason Pierre-Paul off New Orleans' practice squad. Phillips' 2023 is over, finishing with 6.5 sacks in eight contests.
Nov 25, 2023
Torn Achilles confirmed
An MRI Saturday confirmed Phillips suffered a torn Achilles in Friday's victory over the Jets, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Phillips had recorded one sack, three tackles behind the line of scrimmage and one pass deflected before exiting Friday's game with the injury. With his season now presumably over, a trip to injured reserve is the next step as he sets his sights on recovering for the 2024 season. Emmanuel Ogbah is the likely candidate to replace him on the edge going forward opposite Bradley Chubb.
Nov 24, 2023
Exits with Achilles injury Friday
Phillips (Achilles) has been ruled out for the remainder of Friday's game against the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Phillips got injured in the second half after recording one sack and three tackles for loss among his four tackles (three solo). He added a pass defensed. Phillips' injury didn't look good and could lead to an extended absence, though confirmation on that front won't come until additional testing is performed to confirm the severity of the injury.
Nov 21, 2023
Snags first career interception
Phillips logged six total tackles (five solo), including two sacks and two tackles for loss, while also grabbing an interception in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Raiders.
ANALYSIS
Phillips was the only Dolphin to record a sack during Sunday's contest, and he's now just half a sack behind the team's leader in Bradley Chubb. The third-year edge rusher has dealt with some injuries this season, but he's still on pace to have the best year of his career. Through seven games, the Miami product has logged 39 total tackles, including 5.5 sacks and four tackles for loss. Expect Phillips to continue causing problems for opposing offenses for the remainder of the season.
Nov 6, 2023
Logs sack in third straight game
Phillips recorded five tackles (two solo) including a sack in Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
Phillips has turned it on since returning from the oblique injury that sidelined him for two games earlier this season, registering at least five tackles and a sack in three straight contests. When Miami returns from their Week 10 bye, Phillips should get plenty more chances to rush the passer versus Las Vegas in Week 11.
Oct 30, 2023
Records sack in back-to-back games
Phillips had eight tackles (seven solo) including a sack in Sunday's 31-17 win over the Patriots.
ANALYSIS
He sacked Mac Jones on the Patriots' last drive of the game that helped seal the win. Phillips played 47 snaps on defense Sunday and has played in at least 45 defensive snaps in back-to-back games, a good sign that he is over the oblique injury that forced him to miss two contests this season. Phillips and the Dolphins' defense will have their hands full in Week 9 against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs in Germany.
Oct 24, 2023
Seven tackles, including sack
Phillips recorded seven tackles (five solo), including a sack, in Sunday's 31-17 loss to Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
Phillips was back to full strength in Week 7 following an oblique injury, getting to Jalen Hurts for a sack late in the second quarter. The 24-year-old is now up to 20 tackles, including 1.5 sacks, over the four games he's appeared in this year.
Oct 15, 2023
Active Sunday
Phillips (oblique) is active ahead of Sunday's game against the Panthers, David Furones of The Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
The 2021 first-round pick was a limited participant in Dolphins' practice all week after missing the team's last three games, but it seems as if he's had enough time to nurse his oblique injury and he'll return to the field this Sunday. Phillips has logged 115 total tackles, 17 tackles for loss and 16 sacks throughout his first three years in the NFL.
Oct 13, 2023
Questionable to face Carolina
Phillips (oblique) is listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 6 game against the Panthers.
ANALYSIS
Phillips got in a week of limited practices. He hasn't played since Week 3 but figures to have a decent shot of suiting up for Sunday's affair. Through two games, Phillips has 12 tackles and 0.5 sacks. Miami's defense should feast on the winless Panthers.
Oct 8, 2023
Not ready for return
Phillips (oblique) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Phillips is set to miss his second consecutive game with an oblique injury. He managed to practice in limited fashion throughout the week, suggesting his absence may not last much longer. Andrew Van Ginkel should see more snaps against the Giants with Phillips sidelined.
Oct 6, 2023
Questionable for Sunday vs. Giants
Philips (oblique) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Phillips was limited at practice the entire week after sitting out in Week 4 at Buffalo, so he seems like a coin-flip bid to suit up for Week 5. If he's forced to sit out for the third game this season, Andrew Van Ginkel should continue to see increased work on the edge.
Oct 4, 2023
Returns to practice
Phillips (oblique) was a limited participant in Miami's practice Wednesday, Travis Wingfield of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Phillips returned to practice for the first time since suffering an oblique injury during the team's Week 3 win against Denver. The 2021 first-round pick has only played two games so far this season but will look to return to action against the Giants on Sunday.
Sep 29, 2023
Ruled out for Week 4
Phillips (oblique) will not play in Sunday's Week 4 game against the Bills, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Phillips will have now missed two games with two different injuries just four weeks into the season. He previously missed Week 2 with a back issue before injuring his oblique against Denver last Sunday. Andrew Van Ginkel will likely fill in opposite Bradley Chubb.
Sep 27, 2023
Still recovering from injury
Phillips (oblique) did not practice Wednesday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Phillips is considered day-to-day after suffering the injury in Sunday's win over the Broncos. He'll work to get back on the practice field Thursday ahead of the team's matchup with the Bills in Week 4.
Sep 25, 2023
Day-to-day with oblique
Coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that Phillips (oblique) is day-to-day, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Phillips was forced out of Sunday's 70-20 win versus Denver with an oblique issue, but thankfully it doesn't seem to be too serious. Wednesday's injury report will provide further insight regarding his status for Week 4.
Sep 24, 2023
Out for game
Phillips (oblique) will not return to Sunday's game against the Broncos.
ANALYSIS
The linebacker made one tackle before leaving the contest. Phillips also missed the team's Week 2 win over the Patriots with a back injury.
Sep 24, 2023
Leaves with injury
Phillips is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Broncos with an oblique injury.
ANALYSIS
The linebacker missed Miami's Week 2 win over the Patriots with a back ailment. Phillips made 11 tackles in the team's Week 1 victory over the Chargers. Emmanuel Ogbah is in line to replace him on the Miami depth chart.
Sep 24, 2023
Set to play Sunday
Phillips (back) is active for Sunday's bout against the Broncos, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Phillips received the green light for Sunday's contest after logging a full practice session Friday. He sat out against the Patriots in Week 2 after posting 11 tackles (six solo) and half a sack in the season opener against the Chargers.
Sep 22, 2023
Listed as questionable
Phillips (back) has been given a questionable designation ahead of Sunday's contest against the Broncos.
ANALYSIS
Phillips was a full participant at Friday's practice after logging limited sessions to start the week. As a result, he looks to be trending in the right direction, but final status is not likely to be confirmed until closer to kickoff. Emmanuel Ogbah would presumably fill in at weakside linebacker if Phillips cannot go.
Sep 20, 2023
Limited Wednesday
Phillips (back) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Phillips was injured in Friday's practice last week and missed Week 2 versus New England after playing 90 percent of the defensive snaps in Week 1's electric win over the Chargers. Phillips recorded six tackles and a half-sack in the season opener. His limited session Wednesday puts Phillips on track to play in Week 3.
Sep 17, 2023
No go for Week 2
Phillips (back) has been ruled out for the Dolphins' contest with the Patriots on Sunday NIght Football.
ANALYSIS
Phillips suffered a back injury at practice Friday and he will now be forced to miss Miami's second game of the year. Emmanuel Ogbah could step into a starting role at weakside linebacker in his absence.
Sep 15, 2023
Questionable after Friday's injury
Phillips (back) is questionable for Sunday's game in New England after injuring his back during practice Friday, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Phillips will have just two days to recover from the injury, though at least he'll benefit from a few extra hours of healing time since the Dolphins play on SNF. The edge rusher had a career-high 11 tackles in the season opener.
Sep 11, 2023
Notches 11 tackles in win
Phillips recorded 11 tackles (six solo) in the Dolphins' 36-34 win over the Chargers in Week 1.
ANALYSIS
Phillips was very active in Miami's first game of the year, compiling a career-high 11 tackles in the opener. He was also able to bring Justin Herbert down, recording a half-sack in the victory.
Dec 25, 2022
Available for Week 16
Phillips (toe) is active for Sunday's game against the Packers, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Phillips, who practiced in a limited fashion in each of Miami's three practices earlier this week due to a toe issue, is now slated to avoid missing his first contest of the 2022-23 campaign Sunday versus Green Bay. The second-year pro has been credited for at least half of a sack in each of the Dolphins' five matchups, and he'll likely remain heavily involved in the team's defensive game plan on Christmas Day.
Dec 23, 2022
Deemed questionable for Sunday
Phillips (toe) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Packers.
ANALYSIS
Phillips was limited at practice Wednesday through Friday due to a toe injury and is officially listed as questionable. The second-year linebacker has yet to miss a game this season, totaling 50 tackles, seven sacks, one forced fumble and a fumble recovery across 14 appearances.
Nov 29, 2022
Racks up seven stops in win
Phillips recorded seven tackles (six solo) and one sack during Sunday's 30-15 win over the Texans.
ANALYSIS
Phillips' seven stops in Week 12 now brings his total up to 38 on the campaign, while he also has 4.5 sacks, two passes defensed and one fumble recovery through Miami's first 11 contests. The second-year pro will look to continue serving as one of the team's key defensive contributors in Sunday's matchup against the 49ers.
Nov 6, 2022
Will play Sunday
Phillips (quadriceps) is active for Sunday's game against Chicago.
ANALYSIS
Phillips landed on the injury report Friday as a limited participant due to a quadriceps issue and was listed as questionable. However, despite the late addition to the injury report, the second-year linebacker will suit up Sunday. Across eight appearances, Phillips has recorded 23 tackles, three sacks and one fumble recovery.
Nov 4, 2022
Listed questionable for Sunday
Phillips (quadriceps) is questionable for Sunday's matchup in Chicago, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Phillips landed on the injury report Friday as a limited participant due to a quadriceps injury, putting his status for Sunday in question. If the outside linebacker is ruled out, Melvin Ingram and Andrew Van Ginkel figure to see increased snaps against the Bears.
Oct 25, 2022
Collects 1.5 sacks in win
Phillips amassed eight tackles (four solo) and 1.5 sacks during Sunday's 16-10 win over the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
Phillips recorded both of his sacks during the second half of Sunday's game against Pittsburgh, while he also logged 80 percent of Miami's defensive snaps in the contest. The 2021 first-rounder has now totaled 21 tackles, three sacks and one fumble recovery across the first seven games this season, and he'll likely remain heavily involved Sunday in Detroit.
Jan 17, 2022
Solid rookie campaign
Phillips racked up 42 tackles (23 solo), 8.5 sacks, one pass breakup and one fumble recovery across 17 games in 2021.
ANALYSIS
Phillips put together an effective rookie effort, especially as a pass rusher, though he didn't prove consistent enough to jump onto the IDP fantasy radar in most formats. The 2021 first-rounder will look to take a step forward in terms of fantasy relevance as a sophomore, when he could have a clearer path to an every-down role.
Dec 7, 2021
Sack streak continues strong
Phillips notched three solo tackles and two sacks during Sunday's win over the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Phillips has exploded onto the IDP radar down the stretch, with at least a half-sack in five straight contests, and five sacks in just his last two appearances. After the Dolphins' bye, Phillips will get a chance to exploit another vulnerable offensive line against Zach Wilson and the Jets on Dec. 19.
Dec 5, 2021
Suiting up Sunday
Phillips (hip) is active Sunday against the Giants, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Phillips' ability to suit up Sunday will be a boost to the Dolphins' linebacker group. The first-round selection has had an impressive rookie year, most notably notching three sacks in Week 12 against the Panthers.
Dec 3, 2021
Questionable for Week 13
Phillips (hip) has been listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Phillips had an impressive three-sack performance in Week 12 versus the Panthers but emerged a little worse for wear and is questionable going into Week 13. If he's unable to start, Darius Hodge is one of the candidates to pick up some extra snaps at linebacker.
Dec 1, 2021
Notches three sacks
Phillips registered three sacks, four tackles (three solo) and a pass defensed in the Dolphins' 33-10 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Phillips' pass defensed was the first of his career, while his four tackles bring him to 33 on the season. The three sacks was, of course, the highlight of the day for the rookie, who was drafted by the Dolphins in the first round of the 2021 Draft. Even more impressive, he accomplished the feat on only 49 percent of the defensive snaps played. Now with 6.5 sacks on the season, Phillips will look to top himself Sunday against the Giants.

Notches sack in Week 5 loss
Phillips recorded four tackles (three solo) and one sack during Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers.
ANALYSIS
Phillips handled his largest workload of the season, with 74 percent of defensive snaps, and in his expanded opportunity he recorded his best game as a pro. The rookie first-round pick will look to continue building momentum against the Jaguars in Week 6.

Returns to practice
Phillips (undisclosed) returned to practice Wednesday, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Phillips had been considered day-to-day since the beginning of August due to an unspecified injury, but he was back in action Wednesday. The 2021 first-rounder should have plenty of time to prepare for the start of the regular season, but it's not clear whether his absence will impact his usage in Saturday's preseason opener against the Bears.

Dealing with injury
Coach Brian Flores said Saturday that Phillips is considered day-to-day with an unspecified injury, Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post reports.
ANALYSIS
The specifics of the issue are unclear, though it appears Phillips isn't dealing with a significant injury. The rookie first-round pick will have a couple weeks to recover before the preseason opener Aug. 14 at Chicago.
