Phillips (wrist) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the 49ers, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports. Phillips' 21-day window to return from injured reserve opened Wednesday. He was a full practice participant all week, but the Cowboys will err on the side of caution and hold the 2015 second-round pick out for at least one more week. Barring any setbacks, Phillips should be on track to make his return for the Cowboys' Week 9 contest against the Falcons on Sunday, Nov. 3. In the meantime, Linval Joseph and Carlos Watkins will continue to serve as Dallas' backup interior defensive lineman behind starters Mazi Smith and Osa Odighizuwa.

The Cowboys designated Phillips (wrist) to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports. Phillips was placed on injured reserve Sept. 18 while in the final stages of his recovery from wrist surgery from last season. He was a full participant during Wednesday's practice session, and if he's able to practice without restriction over the next two days, he should be activated off IR ahead of Sunday's game against the 49ers.

The Cowboys placed Phillips (wrist) on injured reserve Wednesday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports. Phillips underwent wrist surgery last season while playing for the Bills, but it remains to be seen whether his current injury is related. He'll now be forced to miss at least Dallas' next four games, making Oct. 27 versus the 49ers the earliest possible return date. To help replace Jenkins, the Cowboys inked Carlos Watkins from the Commanders' practice squad.

The Cowboys acquired Phillips from the Giants Wednesday, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports. Additionally, Dallas is sending the Giants a sixth-round pick in exchange for Phillips and a seventh-rounder in 2025. The Giants signed Phillips earlier in the offseason after he spent the previous two seasons in Buffalo. Things obviously weren't working in New York, and the G-Men decided to move on ahead of Week 1. Phillips turns 32 next month and has 120 games of experience, including 62 starts. He'll provide interior depth alongside Mazi Smith and Osa Odighizuwa for the Cowboys and new defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer.

Phillips (wrist) aims to be ready to suit back up if the Bills make the playoffs, Ryan O'Halloran of The Buffalo News reports. Phillips apparently sustained a dislocated right wrist during Sunday's win versus the Cowboys, so it's impressive there's any lingering optimism that he might come back at some point this season. For now, Tim Settle and Linval Joseph are likely to see increased reps with Phillips out.
