Phillips (calf) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bengals, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. The rookie cornerback out of Kentucky recorded a week of limited practice sessions and will continue playing through is calf in Week 6. Phillips has accumulated 21 total tackles, including 1.0 sack, and forced one fumble across the Giants' first five games this season. He's expected to start as New York's top slot corner in Sunday's contest.
Phillips (calf) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Phillips was able to play through his calf issue during the Giants' Week 5 win over the Seahawks, so it appears the team is just being cautious with his health. Expect the 22-year-old cornerback to play in the Giants' Week 6 matchup against the Bengals unless he downgrades to non-participation either Thursday or Friday.
Phillips (calf) is active Sunday against the Seahawks. Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Phillips missed the Giants' Week 4 loss to the Cowboys, but he'll be back in action for Week 5. The Kentucky product's return will be a boost to Big Blue's secondary in Seattle.
Phillips (calf) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Phillips and Adoree' Jackson both missed Week 4 with calf issues, and both are questionable for Week 5 after getting in limited practices Thursday. If neither can go, the Giants will again roll with Deonte Banks, Cor'Dale Flott and Nick McCloud at cornerback in Seattle.
Phillips (calf) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Phillips sat out the team's Week 4 loss to the Cowboys as well as Wednesday's practice. His return to the field Thursday is good news for his potential availability Sunday against the Seahawks. However, his status in Friday's practice will likely shed more light on his likeliness of doing so.
Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Phillips (calf) will not practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Phillips continues to work his way back from a calf injury that sidelined him for New York's loss to the Cowboys in Week 4. The rookie third-round pick will have two more chances to increase his activity level at practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
Phillips (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday night's matchup with the Cowboys, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. The rookie cornerback out of Kentucky was held out of practice all week due to a calf injury sustained during the Giants' Week 3 win over the Browns, so it's no surprise that he won't suit up Thursday night. With Phillips missing Week 4's matchup against the Cowboys, expect Isaiah Simmons to see increased work with the Giants' first-team defense.
Phillips (calf) will not practice Tuesday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports. Phillps suffered the injury during Sunday's win against the Browns and may be leaning toward doubtful for Thursday's divisional matchup with the Cowboys. A decision there could come as soon as Wednesday, but he may ultimately end up a game-time decision, and word of his status won't come until the Giants release their inactive list 90 minutes before kickoff. If he doesn't play, Isaiah Simmons will likely handle slot corner duties against Dallas.
Phillips (calf) was listed as a non-participant in Monday's practice estimation, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Phillips sustained a calf injury during the first quarter of Sunday's win over the Browns, and following Monday's practice estimation, it appears he could be in jeopardy of missing some time. The rookie will likely need to log at least limited work Tuesday or Wednesday in order to suit up for the Giants' Week 4 matchup with the Cowboys on Thursday night.
