Phillips (Achilles) was limited in Wednesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Miami continues to bring Phillips on slowly as he recovers from an Achilles tear he sustained last November. Barring any setbacks, the 2021 first-round pick should suit up for Sunday's game against Seattle, though he could remain on a snap count. Phillips has tallied two tackles (one solo), including 1.0 sacks, over the first two games of the regular season.

Phillips (Achilles) has no injury designation ahead of Thursday night's matchup with the Bills, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports. Phillips is still recovering from the Achilles injury he sustained in 2023, but it appears he'll be suiting up Thursday night after playing limited snaps in Week 1. The 2021 first-round pick logged 6.5 sacks in just eight regular-season games last season, and he's expected to line up opposite Quinton Bell as part of Miami's top pass-rush unit against the Bills.

Phillips (Achilles) was a full participant in practice Thursday, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports. Phillips was a DNP for Wednesday's session, but he was able to participate in both individual and team drills Thursday. Per David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel, Phillips is expected to operate on a snap count for the Dolphins' regular-season opener against the Jaguars on Sunday, but it could be a soft cap given the 2021 first-round pick was able to practice without restrictions Thursday.

Phillips (Achilles) will have a snap count Sunday against the Jaguars, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Phillips was limited in practice Wednesday, as he continues to work himself back to full strength from his Achilles injury in November. However, it does sound like the 2021 first-round selection will be active -- although it's not clear how limited he'll be -- for Week 1 against Jacksonville. The fact that the Dolphins also play four days later, Thursday, Sept. 12 against the Bills, likely will factor into how frequently Phillps sees the field Sunday.

Phillips (Achilles) is hopeful to play without any restrictions in Week 1, Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald reports. Phillips has not officially been cleared for Week 1 yet, but Wednesday's injury report figures to give an update. The star edge rusher has been inching closer to a return since being activated off the PUP list in mid-August. If he indeed has no restrictions in Sunday's season opening matchup with the Jaguars, it would be beneficial for the Fins' defense.
