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 via his personal Instagram account 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 the exact diagnosis of the knee injury he suffered in Monday's loss to the Titans, 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 seasons, recording 49 total tackles, including 7.5 sacks, and four pass breakups. Expect Emmanuel Ogbah to see more work with Miami's first-team defense now that Phillips has announced he's out for the season.

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 (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 following a brisk recovery from last November's Achilles tear. The fourth-year pro has recorded two tackles, including 1.0 sacks, in the Dolphins' first two contests.
