Jaelan Phillips will miss Week 5 game vs. Patriots, says Mike McDaniel
Miami Dolphins pass rusher Jaelan Phillips will miss the team’s Week 5 game against the New England Patriots due to a knee injury suffered Monday night against the Tennessee Titans.
On Tuesday, Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said the team is “still acquiring information” about the injury and would have a “more concrete” info soon.
“I’m pretty comfortable saying he won’t be available this week,” McDaniel said. “The information that’s presented to us will be able to provide clarity on is that a multiple week thing or no.”
Phillips, 25, appeared to injure his right knee in the second quarter of the Dolphins’ 31-12 loss against the Titans. He returned to the game, but exited for good after injuring his knee again in the third quarter.
The fourth-year pass rusher has one sack, two quarterback hits, and two pass deflections through the first four weeks of the season. His 2023 year ended with an Achilles tear suffered near the end of November and he began training camp on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list.
The Dolphins are also missing Bradley Chubb, who suffered an ACL tear in Week 17 of the 2023 season, and is currently on the PUP list.
