Jaelan Phillips Fantasy

An MRI exam on Saturday confirmed that Miami Dolphins linebacker Jaelan Phillips (Achilles) suffered a torn Achilles on Friday in the Week 12 win over the New York Jets. Phillips will be forced to miss the rest of the season, which will be a big blow for the Dolphins defense the rest of the way. Before suffering the torn Achilles on Friday, the 24-year-old had three tackles and a sack. Phillips was on pace to set a new career-high in sacks this year, but instead he'll finish with 6.5 sacks, 43 tackles (28 solo), seven tackles for loss, 11 QB hits and one interception in eight games played for the Dolphins. Emmanuel Ogbah should see a big boost in playing time on the edge for Miami's D the rest of the season.

Miami Dolphins linebacker Jaelan Phillips (leg) might be looking at an extended absence after being carted off the field in Friday's Week 12 contest against the New York Jets in the fourth quarter after suffering a non-contact injury. Phillips didn't appear to be in good spirits after being carted off. He could be dealing with a torn Achilles or torn ACL, which would both keep him out for the remainder of the 2023 campaign. Before the serious injury, the 24-year-old had three tackles and a sack against the Jets. Phillips' injury will be a serious one for the Dolphins defense, as he entered the day second on the team with 5.5 sacks. The third-year linebacker also had 39 tackles (25 solo), four tackles for loss, nine QB hits and an interception entering Friday's game. UPDATE: Phillips was listed with an Achilles injury.

Miami Dolphins edge rusher Jaelan Phillips (oblique) logged a limited practice on Wednesday. That's an improvement from last week when Phillips missed all of the Dolphins' practices and was inactive for the Week 4 game against Buffalo. Phillips also missed Week 2 and only played 29 snaps in Week 3. If he can play in Week 5 against the New York Giants, he has a favorable matchup. The Giants are allowing 5.8 sacks per game, the second-most in the league. They allow a sack on 14.7% of dropbacks, the most.
