News

  • Cut by Texans

    Phillips was released by the Texans on Friday, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Phillips was competing for a depth cornerback role in Houston before getting let go. He spent his first four seasons with the Bengals before suiting up for nine games with the Broncos in 2022. The 28-year-old is now looking for a fresh start, but it appears that will not happen in Houston.

  • Headed to Houston

    The Texans signed Phillips on Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Phillips played in nine games for the Broncos during the 2022 campaign before landing on injured reserve with a hamstring injury in December. The 27-year-old recorded just two tackles while playing almost exclusively on special teams, and assuming no injury setbacks, he should be expected to have a similar depth role this season, provided he makes the team.

  • Moves to injured reserve

    The Broncos placed Phillips (hamstring) on injured reserve Tuesday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

    Analysis: Phillips is now essentially slated to miss the rest of the season after being placed on injured reserve Tuesday due to a lingering hamstring issue. The fifth-year cornerback primarily served as a special-teams contributor during his first campaign with Denver.

  • Full go Wednesday

    Phillips (illness) was a full participant in Denver's practice Wednesday, Ellie Kinney of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Phillips missed his fifth game of the season Week 10 after coming down with an illness. Now, the 27-year-old appears ready to suit up again after logging a full session during the first practice of Week 11. Expect Phillips to reprise a core special-teams role against the Raiders on Sunday.

  • Won't play Sunday

    Phillips (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Titans.

    Analysis: Phillips landed on the injury report Thursday as a non-participant due to an illness and was unable to practice Friday as well, so his lack of availability isn't surprising. The fifth-year defensive back has played exclusively on special teams this season, so his absence shouldn't impact Denver's defense.

  • Full participant Friday

    Phillips (hamstring) was a full participant during Friday's practice.

    Analysis: Phillips hasn't played since Week 2 due to a lingering hamstring issue, but he returned to practice in a limited fashion Thursday and progressed to a full participant Friday. Barring a setback, it appears Phillips will be available Monday, but he played primarily on special teams before his absence.

  • Limited in practice Thursday

    Phillips (hamstring) logged a limited practice Thursday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

    Analysis: Phillips hasn't recorded a full practice since prior to Week 3, as he's dealing with a nagging hamstring injury. The cornerback hasn't logged a snap on defense since joining Denver, so if Phillips can't suit up Monday, his absence shouldn't have an impact on the Broncos' gameplan.

  • Staying out Thursday

    Phillips (hamstring) was ruled inactive ahead of Thursday's game against the Colts.

    Analysis: Phillips will miss his third straight game after picking up a hamstring injury following Denver's Week 2 win over Houston. The reserve cornerback has not played a defensive snap since signing with the Broncos on Sept. 1, so his absence should not make much of an impact in Thursday's game against Indianapolis.

  • Could return Thursday

    Phillips (hamstring) is questionable for Thursday against the Colts, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com.

    Analysis: Phillips has been out since Week 2 with the injury, but he's been able to log limited practices throughout the week. The fifth-year corner may bolster the Broncos depth at corner if he is able to play. If not, Essang Bassey will likely continue to provide deep depth at the position.

  • Out Sunday

    Phillips (hamstring) will be sidelined for the Broncos' Week 4 matchup with the Raiders.

    Analysis: No surprise here, as Phillips was a non-participant at practice all week. His abence will mark his second straight due to a hamstring issue. The next chance he has to suit up will come in Week 5 versus the Colts.

  • Ruled out for Week 3

    Phillips (hamstring) is out for Sunday's matchup against the 49ers.

    Analysis: Phillips was unable to practice in any capacity throughout the week. He played exclusively on special teams in Denver's first two games, so his absence won't have a significant impact on the outcome of the matchup.

  • Lands in Las Vegas

    Phillips (shoulder) and the Raiders agreed to terms on a one-year, $2.25 million contract Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Phillips missed time due to a shoulder injury in 2021, logging his second consecutive campaign with just 12 regular-season appearances. After having handled a career-low 87 defensive snaps last season, the 26-year-old corner will work to reignite his career in a Raiders secondary desperate for playmakers.

  • Shifts to IR

    Phillips (shoulder) returned from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday and moved back to injured reserve, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Analysis: Phillips has spent the required three-game minimum on IR and can return as soon as he's healthy. He's played mostly on special teams this year.

  • Moves to COVID list

    Cincinnati placed Phillips (shoulder) placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday after he tested positive for the virus, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Phillips was on injured reserve with a shoulder injury he suffered in Week 14 against the 49ers. He'll be eligible to return from IR in time for Week 18 against the Browns, but whether or not his stint on the COVID list delays that remains to be seen.

  • Placed on IR

    The Bengals have placed Phillips (shoulder) on injured reserve.

    Analysis: Phillips injured his left shoulder in Sunday's loss to the 49ers. He had accumulated seven tackles and two passes defended across 12 games this season. Also, the fourth-year cornerback averaged 21.1 yards on kick returns and 7.1 on punt returns.

  • Returns to Sunday's contest

    Phillips (shoulder) has returned to Sunday's contest against the 49ers, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The fourth-year pro lost a fumble during a punt return in the first quarter of the contest and was injured on the play. However, despite the injury and fumble, Phillips has resumed his usual return duties.

    Published: Sun, Dec 12 at 2:20pm by Rotowire.com

  • Suffers shoulder injury Sunday

    Phillips (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the 49ers.

    Analysis: Phillips lost a fumble during one of his two punt returns in the first half, and during the process, he apparently suffered a shoulder injury. If he is unable to return, then Tyler Boyd would likely take over as the primary punt returner for the remainder of the contest.

  • No longer on injury report

    Phillips (calf) wasn't listed on the Bengals' injury report Wednesday.

    Analysis: Phillips was unable to suit up in Week 13 even after logging full practices leading up to the game. The cornerback will likely need to record full practices for the rest of the week to be able to play in Week 14 against the 49ers.

    Published: Wed, Dec 8 at 6:53pm by Rotowire.com

  • Won't play Week 13

    Phillips (calf) is inactive Week 13 against the Chargers, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Phillips logged full practices both Thursday and Friday this week but will ultimately end up missing his first game of the season. According to Dehner, Pooka Williams is expected to pick up Phillips' role in the return game.

  • Suiting up against Bears

    Phillips is active for Sunday's Week 2 contest against the Bears, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Phillips entered Sunday with a questionable tag due to a thigh injury. However, he'll be ready to go and should serve as the Bengals' primary punt returner.

  • Green light for Week 16

    Phillips (knee) won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Texans.

    Analysis: Phillips missed the first two practices of the week, but he upgraded to limited participation Friday, proving to be healthy enough to get the green light this week. The third-year pro is expected to start at cornerback; he's allowed 348 yards (6.7 yards per target) and five touchdowns in coverage over 10 games this year.

  • Splits time in return game

    Phillips played 29 defensive snaps in his return from the IR, registering two tackles and two passes defensed in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys. He'll continue to share time with LeShaun Sims as the Bengals' second corner, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Phillips graded out pretty well in his return - in fact, Pro Football Focus rated him as the team's best defender on Sunday, far better than Sims.

  • Comes off IR

    The Bengals activated Phillips (groin) off injured reserve Wednesday.

    Analysis: Phillips didn't manage to come off IR in time to suit up for last weekend's loss to Miami, but he'll be available for Cincinnati's upcoming tilt against the Cowboys. The third-year cornerback will likely return to a starting role across from William Jackson on the outside.

    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Should play Sunday

    Phillips (groin) is expected to be activated off injured reserve and play Sunday at Miami, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The Bengals need to decide by Saturday afternoon whether to activate the 25-year-old, or he won't be able to return until Week 14. Phillips has been sidelined since Week 8 due to the groin injury, but he may be back after spending the three-game minimum on injured reserve.

    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Cleared for practice

    The Bengals have designated Phillips (groin) to return to practice.

    Analysis: Phillips has missed the last three games while residing on IR with the groin injury, though he's now expected to return to practice this week. The Bengals will have 21 days to activate the cornerback, so he could return to the lineup as early as Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

  • Moves to injured reserve

    Phillips (groin) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Analysis: The 25-year-old was was already ruled out for Sunday's game at Pittsburgh, but he'll now be sidelined for at least the next three games. Phillips will first be eligible to return from IR for the Dec. 6 matchup with the Dolphins.

  • Can't play Sunday

    Phillips (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Phillips failed to get healthy over the Week 9 bye, and he'll miss his first game of the season. He's been a key cog in Cincinnati's secondary this season, but with LeShaun Sims (concussion) also out, William Jackson, Mackensie Alexander and Tony Brown are the only healthy cornerbacks heading into Sunday's tilt. The Bengals likely will call up a practice squad player to add depth.

  • Likely unavailable for rest of day

    Phillips (groin) is doubtful to return to Sunday's matchup against the Titans.

    Analysis: Phillips been an integral part of the Bengals defense, playing more than 70 percent of the snaps in six of seven appearances this season. In all likelihood, Cincinnati will have to find a way to get by without him for the rest of the contest. Through the first half, the Bengals have done an excellent job of containing Tennessee quarterback Ryan Tannehill, holding him to a sub-50 percent completion rate with one interception.

  • Suiting up Week 8

    Phillips (knee) is active Week 8 against Tennessee, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Phillips missed two practices this week but was able to log a limited session Friday, which will be enough to allow him to suit up. He should be in line for a similar role as in past weeks, as Phillips has logged 30 or more defensive snaps playing multiple positions in the secondary each game this season.

  • Questionable to face Titans

    Phillips (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Phillips kicked off the week with back-to-back absences from practice, so it looks like his status for Sunday's contest could come down to a game-time decision. Phillips is a versatile cornerback capable of both manning the slot and subbing into a regular defensive role, so Cincinnati's already undermanned secondary could have difficulty replacing him if he's forced to miss time.

  • Not practicing Thursday

    Phillips (knee) was not spotted at Thursday's practice, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Phillips has now missed back-to-back practices due to a knee injury, seemingly putting his status for Week 8 in jeopardy. He'll only have one more chance to return to practice before Sunday's game against the Titans.

  • Burned for game-winner

    Phillips had an interception on the first defensive play of Sunday's loss to the Browns, but he then repeatedly got burned by Browns QB Baker Mayfield throughout the contest including on the game-winner to Donovan Peoples-Jones.

    Analysis: Phillips was pressed into a higher-leveraged role due to the absences of William Jackson (concussion) and Trae Waynes (pectoral), and unfortunately, it showed. Mayfield completed his final 22 real (there was one purposeful spike in there to stop the clock) pass attempts, despite missing Odell Beckham (knee) from early in the first quarter onward.

  • Will man slot against Ravens

    Phillips will start as Cincinnati's slot cornerback during Sunday's matchup against Baltimore, Tyler Dragon of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Analysis: Former Viking Mackensie Alexander (ribs) had been the Bengals' go-to option at nickelback over the first three games of the season, but he is considered doubtful for Week 5 after sitting out last Sunday's win over the Jaguars. Phillips has fielded at least 88 percent of Cincinnati's defensive snaps in every game this season, but this week he is being asked to shut down Ravens slot receivers as his primary responsibility. LeShaun Sims, meanwhile, has been pegged to start as a perimeter corner…read more

  • Clean bill of health

    Phillips (knee) was a full participant in Friday's practice and will play in Sunday's game versus the Chargers.

    Analysis: Phillips was limited in Thursday's practice but quickly shook off the issue, so he'll start against the Chargers in the first game of the season. He logged only 109 defensive snaps over eight games last season, and the Bengals were expected to start Trae Waynes (pectoral) this year, but Waynes was placed on IR. This could be a tough matchup for Phillips, especially if Mike Williams (shoulder) plays for the Chargers.

  • Downgraded Thursday

    Phillips (knee) was downgraded to limited participation during Thursday's practice, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Phillips was fully healed from his lower-leg injury that he suffered in training camp, however, he appears to be dealing with a new issue. If the injury forces Phillips to miss Sunday's game against the Chargers, Mackensie Alexander would be in line to see an increased snap count.

  • Ready to play

    Phillips (lower leg) was a full participant during Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Phillips suffered the lower-leg injury in the late stages of training camp, but appears ready to rock for Week 1's matchup against the Chargers. Now healthy, the Western Michigan product is expected to handle a role at cornerback and in the return game for 2020.

  • No practice Sunday

    Phillips (lower leg) is not participating in Sunday's scrimmage, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Morrison, who has not practiced since suffering a lower leg injury Friday, is doing rehab work on the side rather than taking the field for scrimmage reps. He's in the mix to earn a role at cornerback and in the return game.

    Published: Sun, Aug 30 at 3:21pm by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Lower leg issue

    Phillips is day-to-day with a lower leg issue, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Phillips' status is especially noteworthy with Trae Waynes out for a good chunk of the season. The Bengals need to decide who will line up at corner opposite William Jackson III, with Mackensie Alexander usually lining up in the slot. LeShaun Sims is the other in-house alternative.

  • Snags four picks in eight games

    Phillips had five tackles (four solo) and four interceptions while returning 17 kicks for 373 yards in eight games this season.

    Analysis: It ended up being a remarkable season for Phillips, as he played only 109 defensive snaps but still managed to lead the team with four interceptions. The 24-year-old is under contract for 2020 and should enter training camp as a depth cornerback and return man.

  • Receiving first 2019 start

    Phillips will make his first start of the season Sunday against the Browns, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The 24-year-old missed eight games in the middle of the season due to a knee injury, but he'll start at cornerback Sunday with Williams Jackson (shoulder) sidelined. Phillips has played only 56 defensive snaps through seven games in 2019, so the extended defensive reps should prove valuable for the 2018 fifth-round pick.

  • Back in action

    Phillips returned five kicks for 114 yards during Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: Phillips also handled one punt return for no yardage gain. The second-year pro played 14 snaps on special teams (54 percent) during Sunday's divisional loss and appears to have surpassed Alex Erickson as the Bengals' primary kick returner.

  • Returning from IR

    Coach Zac Taylor said Friday that Phillips (knee) will be activated from IR to the active roster, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Phillips has been on injured reserve since Week 3, and he's now set to retake the field against the Jets on Sunday. A move officially confirming the second-year pro's activation should be forthcoming Friday. Phillips stands to field punts and play a depth role in Cincinnati's secondary.

  • Trending toward playing Sunday

    Coach Zac Taylor expects Phillips (knee) to be activated from IR for Sunday's game against the Jets, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The Bengals will keep a close eye on how Phillips performs during the practice week, but all signs point to the second-year cornerback returning to action. Phillips played three games before landing on IR, recording a tackle and an interception. Taylor expects Phillips to return punts upon his return.

  • Eyeing return from IR

    The Bengals are expected to activate Phillips (knee) from injured reserve later in the season, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Phillips worked on the side at Monday's practice. The second-year pro hasn't yet been designated to return, but he's a strong candidate to receive one of Cincinnati's two available designations along with John Ross (shoulder). The depth cornerback and special-teams contributor could return to game action for the Bengals as soon as Week 12 versus the Jets.
