  • Darius Phillips: Cut by Texans

    Phillips was released by the Texans on Friday, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Phillips was competing for a depth cornerback role in Houston before getting let go. He spent his first four seasons with the Bengals before suiting up for nine games with the Broncos in 2022. The 28-year-old is now looking for a fresh start, but it appears that will not happen in Houston.

  • Texans' Darius Phillips: Headed to Houston

    The Texans signed Phillips on Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Phillips played in nine games for the Broncos during the 2022 campaign before landing on injured reserve with a hamstring injury in December. The 27-year-old recorded just two tackles while playing almost exclusively on special teams, and assuming no injury setbacks, he should be expected to have a similar depth role this season, provided he makes the team.

  • Broncos' Darius Phillips: Won't play Sunday

    Phillips (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Titans.

    Phillips landed on the injury report Thursday as a non-participant due to an illness and was unable to practice Friday as well, so his lack of availability isn't surprising. The fifth-year defensive back has played exclusively on special teams this season, so his absence shouldn't impact Denver's defense.

  • Broncos' Darius Phillips: Limited in practice Thursday

    Phillips (hamstring) logged a limited practice Thursday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

    Phillips hasn't recorded a full practice since prior to Week 3, as he's dealing with a nagging hamstring injury. The cornerback hasn't logged a snap on defense since joining Denver, so if Phillips can't suit up Monday, his absence shouldn't have an impact on the Broncos' gameplan.

  • Broncos' Darius Phillips: Staying out Thursday

    Phillips (hamstring) was ruled inactive ahead of Thursday's game against the Colts.

    Phillips will miss his third straight game after picking up a hamstring injury following Denver's Week 2 win over Houston. The reserve cornerback has not played a defensive snap since signing with the Broncos on Sept. 1, so his absence should not make much of an impact in Thursday's game against Indianapolis.

  • Broncos' Darius Phillips: Could return Thursday

    Phillips (hamstring) is questionable for Thursday against the Colts, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com.

    Phillips has been out since Week 2 with the injury, but he's been able to log limited practices throughout the week. The fifth-year corner may bolster the Broncos depth at corner if he is able to play. If not, Essang Bassey will likely continue to provide deep depth at the position.
