The Giants signed Phillips (wrist) on Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Phillips spent the last two years of his career with the Bills, and he'll stay in New York after agreeing to terms with the Giants on Thursday. The veteran defensive lineman has appeared in 26 games over the past two seasons, recording 35 total tackles, including 4.0 sacks, while also deflecting seven passes. Phillips missed the Bills' final five games last year after sustaining a wrist injury, but once he's able to return to the field, he is expected to serve as one of the Giants' top rotational defensive lineman.
Phillips was able to log a full practice Friday and he's now set to let it rip Sunday versus New York. The defensive tackle has recorded four tackles, including a half-sack, over the last two games.
Phillips logged a full practice Friday, signaling he's closer to the probable end of the official questionable designation. If he can't play in Week 11 anyways, Poona Ford could be in line to see increased playing time Sunday.
It's an upgrade for Phillips after he missed Wednesday's session. Phillip had to briefly exit last Monday night's loss to the Broncos with the injury but was able to return. He should be ready to roll for Sunday's tilt with the division-rival Jets.
It's not immediately obvious when Phillips picked up the knee issue or how severe it might be. Either way, he'll likely need to return to practice Thursday or Friday to give himself a chance to suit up in Week 11.
