Jaelan Phillips News
The Miami Dolphins will exercise the fifth-year option for linebacker Jaelan Phillips (Achilles), according to general manager Chris Grier. The former 18th overall pick of the 2021 NFL draft, Phillips has been an integral piece for the Dolphins defense since he entered the league three years ago. He set a Dolphins rookie record with 8.5 sacks in 2021 and had seven sacks in 2022 before playing in only eight games in 2023 because of an Achilles tear. Before his injury, he was on pace for a career-high 14 sacks. The Dolphins expect Phillips to make a full recovery for the start of the 2024 campaign. Miami can't afford for Phillips to regress after his injury after losing Christian Wilkins this offseason. If healthy in 2024, Phillips should be on the IDP fantasy radar.
Miami Dolphins linebacker Jaelan Phillips (Achilles) continues to rehab after tearing his Achilles in the Week 12 win over the New York Jets in November. After undergoing surgery and ditching a walking boot, the 24-year-old appears to have a chance to be ready for Week 1 of the 2024-25 campaign. Phillips, while speaking with ESPN on Saturday, stated he's "attacking it every day" while adding he'll "definitely" be back healthy for the season. The 2021 No. 18 overall pick has been a menace since entering the league, totaling 146 tackles (88 solo), 22 sacks, and one interception in 42 career games. With that in mind, while Phillips' optimism is encouraging for IDP managers, he could have a tough time getting back to form after coming off such a devastating injury.
Miami Dolphins linebacker Jaelan Phillips (Achilles) said on Wednesday that he walked without a boot for the first time since having surgery to fix a torn Achilles and is well on his way to recovery. Phillips suffered the injury in a Week 12 win over the New York Jets on Nov. 24 and is now two months removed from the surgery. The 24-year-old has a shot to be fully recovered in time for Week 1 of the regular season, barring setbacks, but we'll keep a close eye on his recovery this offseason. Before his season-ending injury, Phillips was on pace for career-best numbers with 43 tackles (28 solo), 6.5 sacks, seven tackles for loss, 11 QB hits and an interception in eight games played. Phillips will be an integral part of Miami's linebacking corps again in 2024.
