Won't play Week 18 Phillips (triceps/illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.
Impact Phillips was unable to practice all week due to a triceps injury and an illness and will officially end the 2025 campaign on injured reserve. He was placed on IR in mid-October and played only in Week 4 against the Commanders, when he logged one solo tackle while playing nine snaps on special teams. Phillips will turn his attention toward being fully healthy for the 2026 season.

Won't return Week 17 Phillips (triceps) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Rams, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.
Impact Phillips won't come off IR in Week 17, making Atlanta's regular-season finale against the Saints in Week 18 his final chance to retake the field during the 2025 campaign. The 2023 fourth-round pick hasn't played since Week 4.

Limited Friday Phillips (triceps) was a limited participant in Friday's practice, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Impact Phillips has been on injured reserve since Oct. 18, and Friday constitutes his first on-field practice since suffering the triceps injury. With cornerback Mike Hughes (ankle) unlikely to suit up for Monday night's game against the Rams, the remainder of the week for Phillips will be key. If the 24-year-old can string practices together, he may be able to be activated off injured reserve and start Monday's game at outside cornerback.
DECEMBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Estimated as limited Phillips (triceps), who remains on IR, is estimated as a limited participant on Thursday's practice report, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Impact Phillips had his 21-day practice window opened Wednesday, so though Atlanta didn't actually host an on-field practice Thursday, it's encouraging to see him estimated as at least a limited participant. In order to be activated in time to play Monday versus the Rams, however, Phillips will likely have to prove himself capable of handling full practice reps Friday and/or Saturday.

DECEMBER 24, 2025 • ATLANTAFALCONS.COM
Set to return to practice The Falcons designated Phillips (triceps) for return from IR on Wednesday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.
Impact Phillips has played in just one game this season -- Week 4 against Washington, when he logged nine special-teams snaps and suffered a triceps injury. He was placed on injured reserve Oct. 18 and has been there since. Phillips will now have his 21-day practice window opened and can be activated at any time, but with just two games remaining on Atlanta's schedule, it remains to be seen if he'll get into a game before the regular season is over.

Placed on injured reserve The Falcons placed Phillips (triceps/illness) on injured reserve Saturday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.
Impact Phillips has been unable to practice for the last two weeks and did not play against the Bills in Week 6 due to a triceps injury. He'll now be required to miss at least the next four games while on injured reserve, and the earliest he can be activated is ahead of the Falcons' Week 11 home clash against the Panthers on Sunday, Nov. 16.

Missing more time Phillips (triceps) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the 49ers, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Phillips didn't practice all week and is now in line to miss his fifth game this season due to ribs and triceps injuries. Once the third-year pro from Utah returns to full health, he'll likely operate as one of the Falcons' top reserve outside cornerbacks.

Cleared to play Phillips (ribs) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game versus Tampa Bay.
Impact Phillips was limited in practice earlier in the week but has been cleared to play in the Week 1 opener. He appeared in 16 regular-season games last season, logging 35 tackles (27 solo), five pass breakups, including one interception, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery. He's expected to be the top backup cornerback on the outside behind starters A.J. Terrell and Mike Hughes.

Remains limited Thursday Phillips (ribs) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Phillips has opened the week with back-to-back limited practice sessions while working through a rib injury. His activity level during Friday's practice will determine whether he has an injury tag heading into Sunday's regular-season opener against Tampa Bay. Clark played in 16 regular-season games (two starts) in 2024 and finished with 35 tackles (27 solo), five pass defenses (one interception), two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery.

Doesn't practice Wednesday Phillips (ribs) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Impact Phillips has been dealing with a rib injury since early August which has prevented him from practicing. He'll have two more chances to return to practice this week and avoid an injury tag heading into Sunday's regular-season opener against the Buccaneers. Natrone Brooks would be in line to see more rotational snaps at outside corner behind starters Mike Hughes and A.J. Terrell if Phillips is unable to play.

Not expected to play this week Phillips (ribs) is not expected to play in Friday's preseason finale against the Cowboys on Friday, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Impact Phillips has yet to play this preseason, so it appears as if he'll go the entire exhibition slate without logging a snap. A fourth-round pick in 2023, Phillips' roster spot should be secure after he appeared in 16 regular-season games for Atlanta last season.
AUGUST 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Dealing with rib injury Phillips (ribs) is expected to miss "some time," D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Impact Phillips missed last Friday's preseason opener against the Lions, and it sounds like he's also in danger of missing this Friday's exhibition against Tennessee. The 23-year-old cornerback appeared in 16 regular-season games for Atlanta last season, making a pair of starts, and finished with 35 tackles (27 solo), five pass breakups, including his first career interception, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery. He's an important piece of the Falcons' secondary depth.

Takes step up in 2024 Phillips finished the 2024 season with 35 total tackles (27 solo), five passes defensed, including an interception, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery over 16 games.
Impact Phillips operated as a depth option behind A.J. Terrell and Mike Hughes in 2024, increasing his tackles total in year two in the NFL, while also snatching his first career interception. With Hughes heading into free agency this offseason, it's possible that Phillips could be thrust into a starting role in Atlanta's secondary in 2025.
