Phillips (ankle) won't be activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against Jacksonville, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
Although Phillips will be forced to miss a fifth consecutive game due to his ankle injury, coach David Culley remains optimistic that the running back will be able to return prior to the end of the regular season. The 24-year-old logged six carries for 13 yards while securing two of three targets for nine yards across his first three appearances of the year.
