Giants' Dru Phillips: Fades injury report
Phillips (knee) is not listed on Wednesday's injury report.
Phillips missed two of the Giants' three preseason games due to a knee injury, but the fact that he was not listed on Wednesday's injury report indicates that he'll play against the Cowboys in Sunday's regular-season opener. Phillips appeared in all 17 regular-season games last year, finishing with 66 tackles (49 solo), 12 pass defenses (including two interceptions) and one fumble recovery.

Giants' Dru Phillips: Not playing Saturday
Phillips (knee) will not play in Saturday's preseason game against the Vikings, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Phillips suffered a knee sprain in last Wednesday's practice and has not practiced since the incident. The slot cornerback's absence Saturday means Ar'Darius Washington will likely be the starter for the foreseeable future. Phillips does not currently have a defined return timeline, and it remains to be seen if he will be fully healthy for the start of the regular season.

Giants' Dru Phillips: Dealing with knee sprain
Phillips has a mild right knee sprain and will be sideline for the time being, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
Phillips suffered the knee injury at practice Wednesday, and he'll now be forced to miss some action moving forward during training camp. It's unclear if he'll be able to play in New York's first preseason game Aug. 15 versus the Vikings, and if he can't go, Ar'Darius Washington would be a top candidate to see an increase in workload in the secondary.

Giants' Dru Phillips: Exits with leg injury
Phillips (lower leg) exited Wednesday's training camp session early due to injury, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports.
Phillips injured his lower right leg during 11-on-11 red-zone drills and was unable to return to the field. The cornerback attempted to jog to the side, and the severity of the injury is unclear. Ar'Darius Washington replaced Phillips on the first-team defense, and Washington will likely see the majority of first-team reps if Phillips is sidelined for any period of time.

Giants' Dru Phillips: Has up-and-down second season
Phillips notched 66 tackles and 12 defensed passes, including two interceptions, along with a fumble recovery over 17 games during the regular season.
Phillips began the season as a starter but moved in and out of that role throughout the campaign due to his middling performance. Despite that, the 2024 third-round draft pick paced New York in defensed passes (12) while tying for the team lead with two pickoffs. Phillips will be in the third year of his rookie contract next season, though it remains to be seen what his role will be in 2026.

Giants' Dru Phillips: Limited by heel injury
Phillips (heel) turned in a limited practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Phillips played his typical allotment of snaps in Sunday's loss to the Commanders, so it's unclear when the issue occurred. That he was able to turn in a limited session to begin the week suggests his status for the Giants' Week 16 matchup is not in jeopardy. However, Phillips' participation in practice throughout the rest of the week will be worth monitoring.
