Jordan Phillips: Everything you need to know

The Bills placed Phillips (ankle) on injured reserve Wednesday. Phillips suffered an ankle injury Week 15 versus the Patriots and subsequently missed two games, but he managed to retake the field Week 18 against the Jets and play a season-high 39 percent of defensive snaps. Nonetheless, the veteran defensive tackle will now miss Buffalo's postseason run due to his placement on IR. With Phillips out, rookie second-rounder T.J. Sanders looks set for a larger role on defense, especially if DaQuan Jones (calf) isn't able to return in time for Sunday's wild-card round matchup against the Jaguars.

Phillips (ankle) is active for Sunday's game versus the Jets. Phillips has missed Buffalo's last two games due to an ankle injury, but he's in shape to return to game action in Week 18. With veteran starter DaQuan Jones (calf) out, Phillips could be in line for additional work at defensive tackle Sunday.

Phillip (ankle) practiced in full Friday and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Jets. Phillips has missed back-to-back games due to a lingering right ankle injury, but he resumed practicing in full Friday after having been listed as limited both Wednesday and Thursday. Barring any setbacks, he seems on track to retake the field Sunday versus New England.
