Jacob Phillips: Parts ways with Texans
Houston cut Jacob Phillips on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.Phillips totaled 88 tackles, including 3.0 sacks, over 20 regular-season games during his first three seasons in the league with the Browns. However, he missed all of last year due to a torn pectoral muscle and was then signed to a one-year deal by the Texans in April. Phillips won't make the 53-man roster, however, and will now likely seek work with another organization.

Texans' Jacob Phillips: Houston bound
Jacob Phillips (pectoral) inked a one-year deal with the Houston Texans on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Phillips spent last year on Cleveland's injured reserve due to a torn pectoral muscle. It was his second straight season-ending pectoral injury, as the same injury ended his 2022 campaign early. The 2020 third-round pick's addition to the Texans' offseason roster indicates his health is back to up to par. He will now compete for a role at linebacker in Houston.

Browns' Jacob Phillips: Officially placed on IR
The Cleveland Browns placed Jacob Phillips (pectoral) on injured reserve Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.Adam Schefter of ESPN reported earlier Saturday that Phillips would miss the remainder of the 2023 campaign after suffering a torn pectoral muscle in Friday's preseason loss to Washington, so the linebacker's shift to injured reserve is merely transactional. Phillips also suffered a season-ending pectoral injury in 2022, but he appeared to have moved past that issue when he was back in action during the Browns' offseason workouts this summer. Either way, the 2020 third-round pick has a lengthy recovery ahead of him and isn't under contract for 2024.

Browns' Jacob Phillips: Reaches double-digit tackles
Jacob Phillips recorded 10 tackles (four solo) in the Cleveland Browns' 38-15 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.Phillips has now recorded double-digit tackles in two straight games while playing 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps. The third-year pro has filled in admirably, at least on the stat sheet, for Anthony Walker who is out for the season due to a torn quadriceps. Phillips will look to keep stacking up the tackles Sunday against the Ravens.
