Placed on IR
The Bills placed Phillips (ankle) on injured reserve Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Phillips suffered an ankle injury Week 15 versus the Patriots and subsequently missed two games, but he managed to retake the field Week 18 against the Jets and play a season-high 39 percent of defensive snaps. Nonetheless, the veteran defensive tackle will now miss Buffalo's postseason run due to his placement on IR. With Phillips out, rookie second-rounder T.J. Sanders looks set for a larger role on defense, especially if DaQuan Jones (calf) isn't able to return in time for Sunday's wild-card round matchup against the Jaguars.

Talent and athleticism have never been a question with Phillips, but his performance has never met expectations. Phillips missed three games last year due to an injury sustained in the season opener, but has apparently returned to full health. The 2015 second-rounder will see his biggest opportunity in Miami yet with Ndamukong Suh gone, but it remains to be seen whether or not the 25-year-old will be able to capitalize on that opportunity.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could head back to Buffalo
Phillips visited with the Bills on Sunday and is likely to sign with the team after the initial 53-man roster is finalized, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The 32-year-old defensive tackle has spent parts of five seasons with Buffalo during a career that began in 2015, including seven regular-season games and three playoff contests in 2024. Phillips would provide depth behind starters Ed Oliver and DaQuan Jones in the middle of the Bills' defensive line.
