Phillips (ribs) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Chris Mason of MassLive.com reports.
Phillips suffered the injury during the first half of the Patriots' Week 1 loss to the Dolphins, but the team has remained "cautiously optimistic" about his chances of playing in Week 2. If Phillips is unable to play, Jabrill Peppers would likely be a primary beneficiary.
