Phillips (arm) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Colts.
Phillips exited the second half of Sunday's contest with an arm injury. The defensive tackle logged four tackles before his exit. Keith Cooper and Kenneth Grant are set to play more snaps for the Dolphins' defensive line while Phillips is out.
Dolphins' Jordan Phillips: Tallies 34 tackles in Year 1
Rotowire
Phillips made 34 tackles (eight solo) while suiting up for all 17 regular-season games with the Dolphins in 2025.
Phillips, a 2025 fifth-round pick, saw consistent playing time as a rookie but struggled tremendously against the run. Despite being more impressive as a pass rusher, he failed to translate any of his seven total pressures into a sack. Phillips will work to take a step forward in Year 2 under new head coach Jeff Hafley, though his upside is noticeably capped due to the presence of both Zach Sieler and Kenneth Grant at defensive tackle.
The Dolphins selected Phillips in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 143rd overall.
Phillips began his career at Tennessee before transferring to Maryland and becoming a two-year starter. He has a squat, hard-to-move frame at 6-foot-1 and 312 pounds with a strong anchor. Phillips developed a reputation for his work ethic in the weight room and played a high volume of snaps for a defensive tackle. The Dolphins already added Kenneth Grant in the first round, so that will be a hurdle to playing time for Phillips, but he at least gives them some much-needed depth in the middle of the defensive line.
