Joins Giants' practice squad

ANALYSIS
Phillips finished the 2023 season with the Giants after appearing in 10 games for them, and now he's back in their facilities as Week 12 of 2024 approaches. Jermaine Eluemunor and Evan Neal are currently the Giants' starting left and right tackles respectively, and it would likely take an injury for Phillips to be elevated to the active roster.

Progressing well
Phillips is progressing well in his recovery from quadriceps surgery, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Phillips underwent the surgery in early January. His next step in recovery will be to resume running, which he's expected to be able to do in four to five months. Phillips is unlikely to be ready for the start of the 2024 season, though there has been nothing definite regarding his timeline.

ANALYSIS
Phillips' season will come to an end a week early, and he'll now have to focus on his recovery after suffering the significant injury in Week 17. Matt Peart will likely handle right tackle in the Giants' regular-season finale against the Eagles.
Dec 31, 2023
Feared to have torn quadriceps
Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports that team officials fear that Phillips sustained a torn quadriceps during Sunday's 26-25 loss to the Rams.
ANALYSIS
Phillips was carted off the field after aggravating what was initially reported as a knee injury. Schultz notes that Phillips -- who has started all nine games for the Giants since being signed off the Eagles' practice squad Oct. 20 -- will have an MRI on Monday to confirm the injury and that surgery is a possibility.
Dec 31, 2023
Now out rest of game
Phillips (knee) is out for the rest of Sunday's game versus the Rams, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Per Dan Duggan of The Athletic, Phillips left Sunday's contest on a cart after he aggravated a knee issue he originally picked up earlier in the day. This time he won't return, though, and Matt Peart will likely fill in at right tackle.
Dec 31, 2023
Returns to Sunday's game
Phillips returned to Sunday's game versus the Rams after sustaining a knee injury, Darryl Slater of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
ANALYSIS
Phillips exited during the first quarter of Sunday's contest due to a knee issue, but it appears it was only a minor injury. He should operate as the Giants' right tackle for the rest of the game, assuming he stays healthy.
Dec 31, 2023
Exits Week 17 game with knee injury
Phillips hurt his knee in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Rams and is questionable to return, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS

Oct 20, 2023
Back with NY, could start Sunday
The Giants signed Phillips off the Eagles' practice squad Tuesday, and he could start Sunday's Week 7 contest versus Washington, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
ANALYSIS
New York cut Phillips from their practice squad prior to the start of the regular season, and he subsequently signed to Philadelphia's practice squad. The fourth-year tackle is now back with the Giants to provide help for an offensive line that has been overwhelmed with injuries. Phillips could start against the Commanders in Week 7, especially if Evan Neal (ankle) is unable to play.
Sep 1, 2023
Staying in New York
Phillips signed with the Giants' practice squad Wednesday, Michael Eisen of theme's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Phillips has seemingly recovered from quadriceps injury and will now rejoin New York on their practice squad. The 2020 third-round pick spent last season with the Giants as well and can provide solid depth if needed.
Aug 27, 2023
Close to 100 percent
Head coach Brian Daboll noted Sunday that Phillips wasn't ready to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Jets but is close to full health, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Phillips will continue to work on recovering from a quadriceps injury and be available for Week 1. He is competing for a depth spot on the Giants' offensive line ahead of the Tuesday deadline for finalized rosters.
Nov 24, 2022
Available against Dallas
Phillips (neck) is active for Thursday's game against the Cowboys.
ANALYSIS
Phillips sustained a neck injury Sunday against the Lions but will be able to play through the issue on a short week. Evan Neal (knee) has been ruled out, so Phillips will likely take on a starting role again Thursday.
Nov 20, 2022
Isn't returning Sunday
Phillips (neck) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Lions, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
ANALYSIS
With Phillips now done for the day, Matt Peart is slated to serve as the Giants' right tackle given that Evan Neal was already inactive due to a knee injury.
Nov 20, 2022
Exits early
Phillips has left Sunday's game against the Lions due to a neck injury, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Phillips is considered questionable to return to the game. While he is out, Matt Peart has taken over at right tackle.
Oct 30, 2022
Ready to go Sunday
Phillips (toe) is active Sunday against the Seahawks, Jordan Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Phillips was limited in practice all week, but he feels good enough to suit up Sunday against Seattle. He'll provide depth on the Giants offensive line.
Sep 2, 2022
Picked up by Giants
Phillips was claimed by the Giants on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Phillips was a third-round draft pick by the Ravens in 2020. He started eight games as a rookie but made just five starts last season, though that was partly due to missing several contests with a knee injury. Phillips played both guard and tackle with the Ravens and should provide much-needed depth along New York's offensive line.
Jun 16, 2022
Option to start Week 1
Phillips is one of three alternative starters for the Ravens' left tackle spot if Ronnie Stanley is not ready to go by Week 1, Kevin Eck of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Phillips played 10 games with five starts in 2021 before missing the final three games of the season with a knee injury. The 2020 third-round pick sat out seven games between two stints on the Ravens' injured reserve. If Phillips remains healthy this offseason, he should serve as a possible Week 1 starter along with Ja'Wuan James and Patrick Mekari, according to Eck.
Dec 30, 2021
Moves back to injured reserve
Phillips (knee) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Phillips suffered the injury Week 15 against the Packers and will miss the rest of the season since it's his second stint on injured reserve. Ben Cleveland will likely start at left guard Sunday against the Rams should Ben Powers (foot) miss his third straight contest.
Dec 26, 2021
Not playing Sunday
Phillips (knee) is not playing Sunday against the Bengals.
ANALYSIS
Phillips already missed four games earlier this year, and the knee injury he sustained against the Packers apparently was serious enough to keep him on the sidelines once again. His next chance to play will come next Sunday at home against the Rams.
Dec 19, 2021
Won't return Sunday
Phillips (knee) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Packers, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
There has been no word on whether it was the same knee that caused Phillips to miss four games on IR earlier in the year. Ben Cleveland is likely to pick up some extra snaps while the 24-year-old is out.
Oct 16, 2021
Activated from IR
Phillips (knee) was activated from injured reserve Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Phillips was injured during the Ravens' Week 1 contest and has been sidelined since. He should return to provide depth along the interior of the team's offensive line.
Oct 9, 2021
Designated to return
Phillips (knee) was designated to return from injured reserve Saturday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The guard has been out since Week 1 with a knee injury, but he appears close to a return. The team has 21-day practice window before activating him or putting him back on IR.
Sep 14, 2021
Shifts to IR
Phillips (knee) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Clifton Brown of the Ravens' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Phillips started Monday's overtime loss to the Raiders. It's unclear how severe his injury is, but the 2020 third-round pick will miss at least the next three games. Ben Power is expected to start at left guard.
Sep 14, 2021
Suffers knee injury Monday
Phillips (knee) was carted off the field during Monday's 33-27 loss to the Raiders.
ANALYSIS
The extent of Phillips' injury is unknown, but the fact that he was carted off the field suggests it is severe. Ben Powers replaced the 24-year-old Monday, and he will likely draw the start in Week 2 if Phillips is unable to suit up.
Dec 27, 2020
Clear for Week 16
Phillips (head) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old left last week's win over the Jaguars to be evaluated for a concussion, but he won't end up missing any additional time. Phillips should fill his usual role as a reserve guard/tackle for Baltimore on Sunday.
Dec 20, 2020
Suffers potential concussion
Phillips exited Sunday's game against the Jaguars to be evaluated for a concussion, Daniel Oyefusi of The Baltimore Sun reports.
ANALYSIS
The Ravens have already pulled most of their starters since the game is well in hand, so Phillips is unlikely to retake the field even if he avoids the concussion.
Dec 2, 2020
Active for Wednesday's game
Phillips (ankle) is active for Wednesday's game against the Steelers, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
It remains to be seen whether Phillips starts or serves in a utility lineman role, but he likely benefited from the game being pushed back after there were initially questions about his availability when the game had been scheduled for last Thursday.
Nov 24, 2020
Limited practice estimation
Phillips (ankle) was listed as limited in the Ravens' practice estimation for Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Phillips returned from the reserve/injured list this week and while the team did not actually practice Tuesday, his limited status is a reassuring sign. There is a chance the guard could be officially activated in time for Thursday's tilt with the Steelers, in which case he would likely get the starting nod.
Nov 23, 2020
Receives return designation
Phillips (ankle) was designated to return from injured reserve Monday and can resume practicing, Aaron Kasinitz of PennLive.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old landed on injured reserve with the high-ankle sprain in early November but is nearing his return to the active roster. Phillips can be activated for Thursday's game at Pittsburg, though it's unclear if he'll require more than a couple days of practice to get back up to speed. Patrick Mekari should continue working at right guard for the Ravens in the meantime.
Nov 3, 2020
Lands on injured reserve
Phillips (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old suffered a high-ankle sprain Sunday against the Steelers and underwent an MRI on Monday, though the results of the imaging remain unclear. Phillips will be sidelined for at least the next three games, so he'll first be eligible to return for the Thanksgiving Day rematch with Pittsburgh. Patrick Mekari is poised to work at right guard in the meantime for the Ravens.
Nov 2, 2020
Managing high-ankle sprain
Phillips is undergoing an MRI after suffering a high-ankle sprain Sunday against the Steelers, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old status will remain in question until the MRI results are announced. Patrick Mekari filled in at right guard Sunday and figures to remain there should Phillips be forced to miss some time.
Nov 1, 2020
Picks up ankle injury
Phillips is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Steelers due to an ankle injury, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Phillips appeared to get rolled up on during the first quarter and was forced to exit. Patrick Mekari will work at right guard in his absence.
Oct 28, 2020
Full-go at practice
Phillips (hand) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Phillips exited early in the Ravens' last game before the Week 7 bye, but the rest period appears to have been enough for him to get healthy. The rookie third-rounder is expected to be active and start at right guard in Sunday's game against the Steelers.
Oct 18, 2020
Dealing with new injury
Phillips (hand) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Eagles.
ANALYSIS
Phillips came into the contest managing a shoulder issue, but he was forced out with a new issue. With the rookie out of Mississippi State is sidelined, Patrick Mekari came in to take over at right guard.
Oct 18, 2020
Ready to rock
Phillips (shoulder) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
ANALYSIS
Phillips came into the game drawing a questionable tag despite logging full practice Friday, so it's likely he'll be without limitations for the contest. Now healthy, expect the rookie out of Mississippi State to assume his usual starting role at left guard for Week 6.
Oct 16, 2020
Pegged as questionable
Phillips (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Eagles.
ANALYSIS
Phillips logged a full practice session Friday, but his status is still uncertain for Sunday. The rookie third-rounder should be considered on track to play barring a setback, though, and he'll return to his starting left guard role if he indeed plays.
Oct 11, 2020
Out as expected
Phillips (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against Cincinnati.
ANALYSIS
Phillips came into the game drawing a doubtful tag, so this news isn't quite surprising. With Phillips sidelined, look for D.J. Fluker to take over at right tackle for Week 5.
Oct 9, 2020
Unlikely to play Sunday
Phillips (shoulder) is considered doubtful for Sunday's game versus the Bengals, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
ANALYSIS
If Phillips indeed sits out, expect D.J. Fluker to step in at right guard for this divisional bout.
Sep 13, 2020
Active Week 1
Phillips (ankle) is active Week 1 against Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
Phillips missed Thursday's practice with an ankle injury but was back to a full participant in Friday's session. The third-round pick will be set to give it a go, serving as a reserve option for multiple offensive line positions.
