Analysis: Phillips played his first game for the Eagles after being acquired in a trade with the Dolphins last Monday. The veteran linebacker looked good in his team debut, notching two quarterback hits and eight QB pressures. Phillips also came up with arguably the biggest stop of the game, assisting on a tackle of Josh Jacobs behind the line of scrimmage on a Packers 4th-and-1 with under two minutes remaining in the matchup.

Heading to Philadelphia
The Eagles acquired Phillips from the Dolphins on Monday in exchange for a 2026 third-round draft pick, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: After having added cornerbacks Michael Carter and Jaire Alexander in trades last week, the Eagles continue to bolster their defense by acquiring Phillips, who should help boost the team's pass rush.

Most likely Dolphin to be dealt
Phillips is the Dolphins' pass rusher most likely to be dealt by Tuesday's trade deadline, Jay Glazer reported on Fox NFL Sunday.
Analysis: Pass rushers are in demand, and the Dolphins are likely sellers at 2-7 following Thursday's loss to the Ravens. Moreover, they just fired their GM, suggesting that they wanted a new architect for their franchise in advance of the trade deadline. Opposing teams might also inquire into trading for Bradley Chubb and Matthew Judon, but Phillips is the primary target.

Leaves practice with knee injury
Phillips left Saturday's training camp practice due to a left knee injury, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Phillips had his left knee checked on by trainers, but he relayed on social media that the injury was "just a bruise," per Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post. Still, the injury is worth monitoring given Phillips' injury history over the last two seasons, including in 2024, when he suffered a partially torn ACL in his other knee. The 2021 first-rounder is slated to serve as the Dolphins' second starting edge rusher opposite Bradley Chubb.

Cleared to practice
Phillips (knee) participated in Friday's practice, Yianni Kourakis of WPBF News reports.
Analysis: Phillips suffered a partial right ACL tear in early October that ended his 2024 campaign. He was able to participate in OTAs in a limited capacity and has progressed enough in his recovery to be fully active in practices for training camp. Phillips has played just 12 regular-season games over the last two years but is expected to be the Dolphins' second starting edge rusher opposite Bradley Chubb.

Active during OTAs
Phillips (knee) is participating in a limited capacity during OTAs, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Per David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel, coach Mike McDaniel said Wednesday that Phillips can drill in most sessions most days, but that the team will take a cautious approach at this point. The ACL tear that ended Phillips' 2024 season prematurely back in October was only partial, perhaps accelerating his recovery process somewhat. When he's healthy, he figures to have a significant role on the edge for Miami along with Bradley Chubb and Chop Robinson.

Moves to IR
Phillips (knee) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.
Analysis: Phillips was already ruled out for the season due to a partial right ACL tear suffered in Monday's loss to the Titans, so this move was fully expected. The transaction created a roster spot that the Dolphins used to sign fellow linebacker Tyus Bowser. Phillips will now focus on his recovery with an eye toward a return in 2025, the final year of his rookie contract.

Recovering from partial ACL tear
Phillips (knee) suffered a season-ending partial right ACL tear during Monday's loss to the Titans, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Phillips was limited to eight regular-season appearances last season, with most of his missed time come as the result of a torn Achilles sustained Week 12. The standout pass rusher was able to work his way back and gain clearance to play as early as August, but he now faces the task of recovering from yet another serious injury. The Dolphins picked up Phillips' fifth-year option over the offseason, so he will play out the final year of his rookie contract during the 2025 campaign.

Needs further evaluation
Phillips (knee) is still being evaluated for his injury suffered in Monday's loss to the Titans, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Phillips exited the game in the second half and was unable to return. Jackson speculates it's unlikely he'll play in Week 5 against the Patriots due to the short week, but confirmation likely won't come until the team releases its first injury report. Considering the team has a Week 6 bye, it wouldn't be surprising if Phillips ultimately got the week off for extra recovery time.

Per David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel, Phillips is expected to operate on a snap count for the Dolphins' regular-season opener against the Jaguars on Sunday, but it could be a soft cap given the 2021 first-round pick was able to practice without restrictions Thursday.

Will be limited Week 1
Phillips (Achilles) will have a snap count Sunday against the Jaguars, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Phillips was limited in practice Wednesday, as he continues to work himself back to full strength from his Achilles injury in November. However, it does sound like the 2021 first-round selection will be active -- although it's not clear how limited he'll be -- for Week 1 against Jacksonville. The fact that the Dolphins also play four days later, Thursday, Sept. 12 against the Bills, likely will factor into how frequently Phillps sees the field Sunday.

Analysis: Phillips' return is inching closer to a return after being activated off the PUP list last Monday, but Miami is likely taking the cautious approach with its 2021 first-round selection.

Analysis: Phillips was a full participant at Friday's practice after logging limited sessions to start the week. As a result, he looks to be trending in the right direction, but his final status is not likely to be confirmed until closer to kickoff. Emmanuel Ogbah would presumably fill in at weakside linebacker if Phillips cannot go.

Limited Wednesday
Phillips (back) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
Analysis: Phillips was injured in Friday's practice last week and missed Week 2 versus New England after playing 90 percent of the defensive snaps in Week 1's electric win over the Chargers. Phillips recorded six tackles, including a half sack, in the season opener. His limited session Wednesday puts Phillips on track to play Week 3.

Questionable after Friday's injury
Phillips is questionable for Sunday's game in New England after injuring his back during practice Friday, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

Available for Week 16
Phillips (toe) is active for Sunday's game against the Packers, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Phillips, who practiced in a limited fashion in each of Miami's three practices earlier this week due to a toe issue, is now slated to avoid missing his first contest of the 2022-23 campaign Sunday versus Green Bay. The second-year pro has been credited for at least half of a sack in each of the Dolphins' five matchups, and he'll likely remain heavily involved in the team's defensive game plan on Christmas Day.

Analysis: Phillips recorded both of his sacks during the second half of Sunday's game against Pittsburgh, while he also logged 80 percent of Miami's defensive snaps in the contest. The 2021 first-rounder has now totaled 21 tackles, three sacks and one fumble recovery across the first seven games this season, and he'll likely remain heavily involved Sunday in Detroit.

Solid rookie campaign
Phillips racked up 42 tackles (23 solo), 8.5 sacks, one pass breakup and one fumble recovery across 17 games in 2021.
Analysis: Phillips put together an effective rookie effort, especially as a pass rusher, though he didn't prove consistent enough to jump onto the IDP fantasy radar as a weekly starter in most formats. The 2021 first-rounder will look to take a step forward in terms of fantasy relevance as a sophomore, when he could have a clearer path to an every-down role.

Sack streak continues
Phillips notched three solo tackles and two sacks during Sunday's win over the Giants.
Analysis: Phillips has exploded onto the IDP radar down the stretch, with at least a half-sack in five straight contests, and five sacks in just his last two appearances. After the Dolphins' bye, Phillips will get a chance to exploit another vulnerable offensive line against Zach Wilson and the Jets on Dec. 19.

Suiting up Sunday
Phillips (hip) is active Sunday against the Giants, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Questionable for Week 13
Phillips (hip) has been listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Phillips had an impressive three-sack performance in Week 12 versus the Panthers but emerged a little worse for wear and is questionable going into Week 13. If he's unable to start, Darius Hodge is one of the candidates to pick up some extra snaps at linebacker.

Notches three sacks
Phillips registered three sacks, four tackles (three solo) and a pass defensed in the Dolphins' 33-10 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
Analysis: Phillips' pass defensed was the first of his career, while his four tackles bring him to 33 on the season. The three sacks was, of course, the highlight of the day for the rookie, who was drafted by the Dolphins in the first round of the 2021 Draft. Even more impressive, he accomplished the feat on only 49 percent of the defensive snaps played. Now with 6.5 sacks on the season, Phillips will look to top himself Sunday against the Giants.

Returns to practice
Phillips (undisclosed) returned to practice Wednesday, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.
Analysis: Phillips had been considered day-to-day since the beginning of August due to an unspecified injury, but he was back in action Wednesday. The 2021 first-rounder should have plenty of time to prepare for the start of the regular season, but it's not clear whether his absence will impact his usage in Saturday's preseason opener against the Bears.
