Phillips (knee) was placed on injured reserve Thursday. Phillips was already ruled out for the season due to a partial right ACL tear suffered in Monday's loss to the Titans, so this move was fully expected. The transaction 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.

Phillips (knee) was placed on injured reserve Thursday. Phillips was already ruled out for the season due to a partial right ACL tear suffered in Monday's loss to the Titans, so this move was fully expected. The transaction 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.
Phillips (knee) suffered a season-ending partial right ACL tear during Monday's loss to the Titans, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN reports. 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.
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. Phillips didn't mention his exact diagnosis, 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.
Phillips (knee) is still being evaluated for his injury suffered in Monday's loss to the Titans, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports. 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.
Phillips (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's contest against the Titans, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports. 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.
Phillips (Achilles) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. 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.
Phillips (Achilles) was limited in Wednesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. 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.
Phillips (Achilles) has no injury designation ahead of Thursday night's matchup with the Bills, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports. 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.
Phillips (Achilles) was listed as a limited participant in Monday's practice estimate, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports. 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.
