Phillips (knee) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Seahawks. The 28-year-old opened Minnesota's week of practice with consecutive limited sessions due to a knee injury, but he upgraded to a full workload Friday, suggesting he's moved past the issue in time to play Sunday. With Phillips back at full health, he's expected to serve as one of the Vikings' top interior defensive linemen in Week 16.

Phillips (knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice. Phillips previously dealt with a back issue earlier in the month, so this is a new injury for the veteran defensive tackle. Phillips has started all 14 games this season, logging 41 tackles (14 solo), including 2.0 sacks, five QB hits, four batted passes, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.

Phillips (back) is available for Sunday's game versus the Falcons. Phillips was a late addition to the Vikings' injury report Friday following a limited session. It looks like Minnesota was simply exercising caution, as he is set to suit up Sunday at home against Atlanta.

Phillips (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons. Phillips was a Friday addition to the injury report, getting in a limited session. Late-week additions to the injury report tend to trend toward not playing, but the Vikings are giving Phillips a chance to suit up. Backup NT Taki Taimani (ankle) is already on injured reserve, so Minnesota could be thin up front if Phillips can't go Sunday.
-
Phillips had one total tackle and blocked a pass attempt at the line that turned into an interception for Kamu Grugier-Hill in Sunday's win over Houston. Phillips is disruptive on the defensive line but that doesn't often result in sacks or tackle stats for him as the team's starting nose tackle.
