    Analysis: Phillips contributed in multiple areas during Sunday's contest. He logged 17 snaps as a defender (28 percent) to go along with 22 on special teams (76 percent).

    Analysis: Phillips suffered the injury during the first half of the Patriots' Week 1 loss to the Dolphins. However, the team is "cautiously optimistic" about his chances to suit up Sunday. If Phillips is unable to play, Jabrill Peppers will likely see extra opportunities against the Steelers.

  • Notches 92 tackles and four picks

    Phillips finished the 2021 regular season with 92 tackles and four interceptions (including one that he returned 26 yards for a TD) in 17 games.

    Analysis: Phillips, who turns 30 on March 28, signed a three-year extension with the Patriots late in the season, which is slated to keep the 5-foot-11, 210-pounder -- who played the first six years of his NFL career with the Chargers -- in the fold through 2024. He'll reprise his key role in New England's secondary this coming season, alongside fellow key safety Kyle Dugger and possibly Devin McCourty (a pending UFA), if he re-signs. It's a playing context which should continue to yield fantasy…read more

  • Active in wild-card round

    Phillips (knee) is listed as active Saturday at Buffalo.

    Analysis: Phillips sustained a knee injury Week 13, and following a Week 14 bye he's made the occasional appearance on the practice report with the issue. He has yet to miss any game action, though, and will look to continue his late-season productive streak, which included 28 tackles and two pass defenses over the final four contests.

  • Questionable for Saturday

    Phillips (knee) is questionable for Saturday against the Bills.

    Analysis: Phillips has logged a limited practice every day this week, and he's been questionable with a knee issue for previous games this season. He still suited up in all 17 contests and should probably be expected to play Saturday. However, if he can't go, it'll be a significant blow to the Patriots' secondary and will likely lead to extra opportunity for Justin Bethel.

  • Limited Tuesday

    Phillips (knee) was estimated as a limited participant at Tuesday's walkthrough.

    Analysis: The safety popped up on Tuesday's injury report with a knee issue, though his limited participation seems to suggest it's something minor. Phillips drew the start at free safety for Kyle Dugger (hand) in Week 18, but figures to play a large role in the Patriots' secondary regardless of Dugger's status for Saturday's wild card matchup versus the Bills.

    Phillips (wrist) is active for Sunday against the Dolphins, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

    Analysis: Phillips suffered the injury last Sunday against the Jaguars, but he's ready to return in Week 18. He'll likely draw the start at free safety with Kyle Dugger (hand) out.

  • Suffers wrist injury Sunday

    Phillips (wrist) is questionable to return Sunday against the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Phillips recorded four tackles before leaving the game late in the second half. The Patriots held a 50-10 lead when Phillips left the game, so he'll likely be held out regardless of how significant the injury is.

  • Will play Sunday

    Phillips (knee) will play Sunday against the Jaguars.

  • Uncertain for Sunday

    Phillips (knee) is questionable for Sunday against the Jaguars, Chris Mason of Mass Live reports.

    Analysis: Phillips missed the Patriots' Friday walkthrough due to the injury. With Kyle Dugger (hamstring) questionable, Phillips could be looking at a larger role than usual if he is able to suit up Sunday against Jacksonville.

    Analysis: Phillips recovered from the knee injury in time to take the field Saturday and played 81 percent of the defensive snaps. The 29-year-old has 71 tackles (42 solo), four interceptions, one forced fumble and one touchdown in 14 games this season.

  • Picks up knee injury

    Phillips suffered a knee injury and was ruled out for the rest of Monday's game against Buffalo.

    Analysis: Phillips went down on Buffalo's last offensive drive of the contest, and he was unable to return. The extent of the injury is not yet known. Sean Davis took over on the final few plays in Phillips' absence.

  • Dominant against former team

    Phillips notched three tackles (one solo), two pass breakups and two interceptions, one of which he returned for a touchdown, during Sunday's 27-24 win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: Phillips earned AFC Defensive Player of the Week honors for his performance against Justin Herbert and his former team. The cornerback, who spent the first six years of his career with the Chargers, now sits at three interceptions on the season. He recorded the first pick-six of his career in the fourth quarter, when he intercepted Herbert and returned the ball for a 26-yard score.

  • Makes six stops vs. Jets

    Phillips had six tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 54-13 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Phillips has 19 total tackles over the last three weeks, and he's now handled 76 percent of defensive snaps in back-to-back games. The 29-year-old is reliable as far as racking up a modest amount of stops every week, but he's not often involved as a pass rusher or as a playmaker in coverage.

  • Season-best tackle total

    Phillips had eight tackles in a 25-22 win over the Texans on Sunday.

    Analysis: Phillips played 90 percent of the snaps, which is about where he has been the past three weeks. Although the eight tackles (five of which were solo) were his best total of the season, he did not add anything else on the stat sheet. Phillips and the Patriots will take on the star-studded Cowboys offense in Week 6.

  • Active for Week 3

    Phillips (undisclosed) is active for Sunday's contest against the Saints, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

    Analysis: Phillips didn't practice Thursday or Friday, so his active status is a bit of a surprise. The 29-year-old played 51 defensive snaps against the Jets in Week 2 and recorded three tackles and one interception.

  • Questionable for Week 3

    Phillips (undisclosed) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, according to Andrew Callahan of Boston Herald.

    Analysis: Phillips didn't participate in Thursday or Friday practices, and that's not a good sign for his availability ahead of this matchup. He's racked up six tackles (five solo), a pass defensed and an interception in two appearances this season.

  • Logs 109 tackles

    Phillips finished the 2020 season with a team-high 109 tackles, two interceptions and a sack in 16 games.

    Analysis: Phillips, who's signed with the Patriots through the 2021 season, made his mark this past season as an IDP working in a safety/linebacker role. Looking ahead, it remains to be seen how he's used by the team next season, but the potential return of Patrick Chung, who opted out of the 2020 campaign, could cut into Phillips' workload.

  • Questionable to return

    Phillips left Sunday's game due to a hip injury.

    Analysis: While the extent of the issue is unclear at this time, Phillips is questionable to return after suffering a hip injury at the end of the first quarter. Rookie Kyle Dugger has played a solid safety role for the Patriots and likely will take over Phillips' duties.

  • Double-digit tackles again

    Phillips had 10 tackles (eight solo) during Thursday's 24-3 loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: Phillips now has back-to-back games with double-digit stops, and he hasn't dipped below five tackles in a single game since Week 4. The veteran safety briefly spent time on the sideline due to a hand injury Thursday, but he managed to return without even missing a full drive.

  • Quickly returns Thursday

    Phillip (hand) returned to Thursday's game against the Rams, Doug Kyed of NESN.com reports.

    Analysis: Phillips didn't even miss a full drive before returning to the field. He's a key member of the Patriots' secondary and is looking to build off of his 12-tackle performance in Week 13.

  • Hurts hand Thursday

    Phillips was forced out of Thursday's game against the Rams with a hand injury.

    Analysis: Phillips appeared to be laboring after making a tackle on Cooper Kupp in the third quarter. Joejuan Williams appears to be the top candidate to fill in for Phillips for the time being.

  • Leading tackler in blowout win

    Phillips racked up 12 tackles (seven solo) and a pass defensed in Sunday's 45-0 win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: Phillips was by far the busiest member of the Patriots' defense in this one, as no other teammate finished with more than six tackles. The safety's second double-digit tackle performance of the season has him up to 84 on the campaign, along with a pair of interceptions.

  • Rings up eight tackles

    Phillips made eight tackles (seven solo) in Monday's 30-27 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Phillips led the Patriots in tackles, enjoyed his highest total since Week 6 and extending his team lead in the category to 56. The veteran safety is tracking for the first triple-digit tackling season of his career, but his IDP ceiling remains low with no sacks, pass breakups or interceptions since Week 1.

  • Stacks up 11 stops

    Phillips posted 11 tackles -- two for a loss -- in Sunday's 18-12 loss to the Broncos.

    Analysis: Phillips and Ja'Whaun Bentley both hit double-digit tackles in this outing, but Bentley beat him out with 12 stops. Now, Phillips is up to 36 tackles on the season, putting him on pace to exceed to 100-tackle threshold for the first time in his career. Although he's a starter, Phillips hasn't recorded more than an 80 percent snap share this season, which is a bit concerning for his IDP consistency.

  • Leads team in tackles

    Phillips recorded nine tackles (eight solo), a pass breakup and an interception in Sunday's 21-11 win over the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Phillips established himself quickly in an elite Patriots defense, pacing the squad in tackles and hauling in an interception in the first half. The veteran safety put together this impressive effort despite playing just 69 percent of the team's defensive snaps. This could become a theme since the Patriots deployed Terrence Brooks and Joejuan Williams a ton as well, but Phillips proved he could be effective nonetheless.

  • Joins New England

    Phillips is signing a two-year contract with the Patriots, Yahoo's Charles Robinson reports.

    Analysis: A report last week suggested the Chargers planned to re-sign Phillips, who started 24 of his 64 games in six years with the team. He profiles as a direct replacement for Duron Harmon, the Patriots' No. 3 safety and a core special teams player last season. The Lions traded for Harmon earlier this week, and the Patriots may have had Phillips in mind when they made the deal.

  • Could return to Los Angeles

    Chargers general manager Tom Telesco is intent on retaining Phillips this offseason, Eric D. Williams of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: It'll be interesting to see what type of money Phillips could get on the market, as the 27-year-old safety is only one year removed from receiving All-Pro honors as a special teamer. Though the Chargers seem intent on matching any offer for Phillips' services, he should be in line for a starting safety spot regardless of where he lands.

  • Injury squanders productive season

    Phillips finished the season with 36 tackles while playing seven games.

    Analysis: A fractured forearm put a stop to Phillips' bid for a second straight Pro Bowl appearance, but the versatile safety did pick up 22 tackles over the final four weeks of the regular season. The Chargers' base defense tends to operate with more safeties than expected, so while he might not earn the "starting" distinction, his role as a special teams ace and multi-faceted safety could make him an under-the-radar safety in deeper IDP leagues next year.

  • Activated off injured reserve

    Phillips (forearm) was activated off injured reserve Saturday.

    Analysis: Phillips joined teammate Derwin James (foot), who was also activated off injured reserve Saturday. The 27-year-old earned Pro Bowl honors in 2018 thanks to his abilities as a special teams ace, but the safety is expected to immediately step into the starting lineup in place of Roderic Teamer.

  • Designated to return from IR

    Phillips (forearm) was designated to return from injured reserve by the Chargers on Thursday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Analysis: The move gives the team 21 days to activate Phillips to the 53-man roster, or he will revert back to IR for the rest of the season. He'll most likely sit this week, giving Jaylen Watkins another game to fill in before the Chargers go on bye Week 12.

  • Still sporting cast

    Coach Anthony Lynn said Tuesday that Phillips is still wearing a cast for his fractured forearm, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.

    Analysis: Phillips sustained the injury during Week 2 and has since been on injured reserve, but Lynn did say that "he's getting close" to a return. The 27-year-old is eligible to return from IR in Week 11, but that seems unlikely if he's still wearing the cast within two weeks of that game. The Chargers then have their bye in Week 12, so a return for the following contest -- Dec. 1 at Denver -- could still be a realistic possibility.
