The New York Giants are signing offensive lineman Tyre Phillips to the practice squad on Tuesday, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz. The 27-year-old started in nine games for the G-Men last season before suffering a torn quad, but he is fully recovered. Phillips has played in 44 career games with 27 total starts since entering the NFL as a third-round pick out of Mississippi State in 2020. While New York is far removed from the NFC Playoff picture, Phillips could make his way onto the active roster and enhance the team's offensive line down the stretch for running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. and new starting quarterback Tommy Devito.
New York Giants impending free-agent offensive lineman Tyre Phillips (quadriceps) is said to be making "very good progress" from his quadriceps injury this offseason. The expectation is that he'll resume running in four to five months with change of direction mixed in after six months. Phillips should make a full return to all football activities in the seven- to eight-month range. The 27-year-old started nine games for the New York Giants last season in his second season with the G-Men. Phillips was originally drafted by the Baltimore Ravens in the third round in 2020 and spent his first two seasons in the NFL in Baltimore. He had surgery on his quadriceps muscle in early January. Phillips is unlikely to be ready for the start of the 2024 regular season, which will complicate his free-agent market.
The Baltimore Ravens placed offensive tackle/guard Tyre Phillips (knee) on Injured Reserve on Thursday, which will likely end his season. Last year's third-round pick has started 13 games for the Ravens, but staying healthy has been a problem for him, as he played in only eight games in his rookie season and five games this year. Phillips initially suffered his knee injury on Dec. 19 against the Green Bay Packers, and it's his second knee injury in 2021 after being carted off the field in the season opener. He started the season as the team's starting left guard and will likely compete for that job again in 2022 with third-round rookie Ben Cleveland. Phillips has mostly been used as a right tackle fill-in when Patrick Mekari has been banged up.
Baltimore Ravens left guard Tyre Phillips (knee) is doubtful to return to Monday's Week 1 contest against the Las Vegas Raiders. Phillips left the field on a cart, so this could be a serious injury for a Ravens offense that has been decimated by injury all year. While not Baltimore's most important offensive lineman, his absence would hurt the upside of the Ravens running game. Ben Powers would likely see more time at left guard if Phillips misses time.
The Baltimore Ravens selected Mississippi State offensive guard Tyre Phillips with pick No. 106 overall to close out the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft. Phillips has played some left tackle in college, but the developmental blocker projects as an interior guard at the next level. Phillips needs plenty of development because he lacks lateral movement, but he's big and takes up space at 6-foot-5, 331 pounds. Expect him to start out as a backup or situational guard to begin his career, but Phillips could develop into a nice run-blocker and pass-protector in time. He'll try to help replace Marshal Yanda, who had become an offensive line legend in Baltimore.
