Giants Now: Dru Phillips garners high praise from NFL.com The news of the day for Giants fans on Friday, January 31, 2025.
JANUARY 31, 2025 • GIANTS.COM
Flashes talent in rookie campaign Phillips finished the 2024 regular season with 71 tackles (46 solo), including 1.0 sacks, along with an interception and two forced fumbles over 14 games (six starts).
Impact After being selected by New York in the third round of April's NFL Draft, Phillips opened eyes as a rookie, finishing fifth on the team in tackles. His biggest performance came in Week 2, when he logged a career-high 12 stops, including his first pro sack. Phillips missed a game early in the campaign due to a calf issue and two later in the season because of a calf injury, but he was overall a consistent contributor from the slot, finishing with at least four tackles in each of his final six games. Phillips showed enough as a rookie to remain a key part of the Giants' defense next season.

Good to go for Week 16 Phillips (shoulder) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Falcons and is expected to play, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Impact The Giants' slot cornerback, Phillips will return from a two-game absence in time for a Week 16 date with Drake London, Kyle Pitts and Ray-Ray McCloud on the inside for the Falcons. Across 11 appearances this season, Phillips has recorded 55 tackles (34 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and a pair of forced fumbles.

Logs limited session Wednesday Phillips (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports.
Impact Phillips has been sidelined for each of the Giants' last two games due to a shoulder injury, so Wednesday's limited session could be an indication that he's nearing a return to the field. The rookie third-round pick from Kentucky has solidified himself as the Giants' top slot corner, recording 55 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and two forced fumbles over 11 appearances this season. However, if he's unable to return for the Week 16 matchup in Atlanta, expect Isaiah Simmons to serve as the Giants' starting slot cornerback.

Sitting out Week 15 Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Friday that Phillips (shoulder) will not suit up Sunday versus Baltimore, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Phillips will miss a second straight contest due to his lingering shoulder injury. The rookie third-round pick had solidified himself as a starter on defense for New York, having strung together seven consecutive contests playing 66 percent or more of defensive snaps. His next opportunity to take the field will come Week 16 against Atlanta.

Logs DNP on Wednesday Phillips (shoulder) didn't practice Wednesday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Impact Phillips was sidelined for the Giants' Week 14 loss to the Saints after sustaining a shoulder injury late in the week, and Wednesday's DNP suggests he's still nursing the issue. The rookie corner from Kentucky could be in jeopardy of missing his second consecutive game in a Week 15 matchup against the Ravens if he can't practice in a limited fashion Thursday or Friday.
DECEMBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Will miss Week 14 contest Phillips (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's battle against the Saints, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Impact It was an ominous sign when Phillips was added to New York's injury report Friday, and a shoulder issue will keep him out of action Sunday for the second time this season. The rookie cornerback had been working in a starting role, logging at least two-thirds of the team's defensive snaps in seven consecutive contests. Isaiah Simmons could see an uptick in defensive snaps Sunday in Phillips' stead.
DECEMBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Pops up on Friday's injury report Phillips did not practice Friday due to a shoulder injury, and he is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints.
Impact Phillips wasn't on the Giants' practice report Wednesday or Thursday, so it appears his shoulder injury is new. He was unable to practice Friday, and it's unclear if the injury is severe enough for him to be sidelined for Sunday's contest. Isaiah Simmons could serve as the Giants' slot corner Sunday if Phillips is unable to play.

Playing in Week 6 Phillips (calf) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bengals, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Impact The rookie cornerback out of Kentucky recorded a week of limited practice sessions and will continue playing through is calf in Week 6. Phillips has accumulated 21 total tackles, including 1.0 sack, and forced one fumble across the Giants' first five games this season. He's expected to start as New York's top slot corner in Sunday's contest.
OCTOBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Logs limited session Wednesday Phillips (calf) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Impact Phillips was able to play through his calf issue during the Giants' Week 5 win over the Seahawks, so it appears the team is just being cautious with his health. Expect the 22-year-old cornerback to play in the Giants' Week 6 matchup against the Bengals unless he downgrades to non-participation either Thursday or Friday.
