Phillips (shoulder) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Falcons and is expected to play, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports. The Giants' slot cornerback, Phillips will return from a two-game absence in time for a Week 16 date with Drake London, Kyle Pitts and Ray-Ray McCloud on the inside for the Falcons. Across 11 appearances this season, Phillips has recorded 55 tackles (34 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and a pair of forced fumbles.

Phillips (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports. Phillips has been sidelined for each of the Giants' last two games due to a shoulder injury, so Wednesday's limited session could be an indication that he's nearing a return to the field. The rookie third-round pick from Kentucky has solidified himself as the Giants' top slot corner, recording 55 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and two forced fumbles over 11 appearances this season. However, if he's unable to return for the Week 16 matchup in Atlanta, expect Isaiah Simmons to serve as the Giants' starting slot cornerback.

Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Friday that Phillips (shoulder) will not suit up Sunday versus Baltimore, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports. Phillips will miss a second straight contest due to his lingering shoulder injury. The rookie third-round pick had solidified himself as a starter on defense for New York, having strung together seven consecutive contests playing 66 percent or more of the team's defensive snaps. His next opportunity to take the field will come Week 16 against Atlanta.

Phillips (shoulder) didn't practice Wednesday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports. Phillips was sidelined for the Giants' Week 14 loss to the Saints after sustaining a shoulder injury late in the week, and Wednesday's DNP suggests he's still nursing the issue. The rookie corner from Kentucky could be in jeopardy of missing his second consecutive game in a Week 15 matchup against the Ravens if he can't practice in a limited fashion Thursday or Friday.

Phillips did not practice Friday due to a shoulder injury, and he is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints. Phillips wasn't on the Giants' practice report Wednesday or Thursday, so it appears his shoulder injury is new. He was unable to practice Friday, and it's unclear if the injury is severe enough for him to be sidelined for Sunday's contest. Isaiah Simmons could serve as the Giants' slot corner Sunday if Phillips is unable to play.
