Del'Shawn Phillips - Page 2 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Lifted to active roster Phillips was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

Impact Phillips led the Jets with 11 tackles (three solo) after entering the season opener when Jamien Sherwood left with an ankle injury. The 24-year-old showed well and could start again for the Jets, and he should be on IDP radars.

Heads back to practice squad Phillips was reverted to the practice squad after Sunday's Week 1 loss to the Raiders, Mike Clay of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Phillips led the Jets with 12 tackles in the game, but he was required to be returned to the practice squad unless the team elected to add him to the 53-man roster. Even so, he's likely to be back with the team for Sunday's Week 2 matchup against New England, with Jamien Sherwood (ankle), Jarrad Davis (ankle) and Blake Cashman (hamstring) all sidelined among the team's linebacker corps.

Leading tackler in Week 1 loss Phillips recorded a team-high 12 tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 19-14 loss to the Panthers.

Impact Phillips failed to carve out a major role in Atlanta or Buffalo over his first two NFL campaigns, but he certainly delivered a strong first impression in his Jets debut. The linebacker should continue to see plenty of action in Week 2 against the Patriots.

Signs with Jets Phillips signed a contract with the Jets on Tuesday, Randy Lange of the team's official site reports.

Impact Phillips has been a bit of a journeyman to start his NFL career, logging stints with the Falcons and Bills in his first two seasons. He has played in only two NFL games, with all 14 of his snaps coming on special teams, so he will most likely be in line for a special teams role to begin his stint in New York.

Phillips will serve as linebacker depth behind expected starter Andre Smith for the time being.

Returns to practice Phillips (quadriceps) returned to practice Wednesday, beginning his 21-day window to be evaluated for activation from IR.

Impact Phillips won't count against Buffalo's 53-man roster while he resumes practicing. The 24-year-old linebacker only contributed on special teams Week 1 in his only game-action of the 2020 season thus far.

OCTOBER 28, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Shifts to IR The Bills placed Phillips (quadriceps) on injured reserve Monday.

Tagged as questionable Phillips (quadriceps) is questionable for Tuesday's game versus the Titans.

Impact Phillips was a full participant in Saturday's practice, indicating that he should play if he can avoid a setback over the next few days. The 24-year-old linebacker's availability is important since Matt Milano (pectoral) has already been ruled out, so Phillips could handle a decent workload Tuesday.

OCTOBER 10, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Back to full practice Phillips (quadriceps) was a full participant during Thursday's practice, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Impact This is great news for the Illinois product, as he logged his first full practice session since Week 1. Phillips has missed three games since then; however, he appears in line for a depth role at strongside linebacker for Tuesday's game against Tennessee.

OCTOBER 8, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Week 4 Phillips (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Las Vegas.

Impact Phillips was able to practice as a limited participant Thursday and Friday after starting the week not practicing, but he'll end up missing his third straight game. The Bills will look elsewhere for snaps on special teams in his absence.

OCTOBER 2, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Won't face Rams Phillips (quadriceps) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact Phillips will miss a second consecutive contest due to a quad injury sustained in the season opener. His absence will open up additional snaps on special teams for reserve players on Buffalo's roster.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Week 2 Phillips (quadriceps) won't suit up against the Dolphins on Sunday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Phillips only saw work on special teams before being forced out of action Week 1 against the Jets, but his lack of availability will be a significant blow to Buffalo's linebacker corps with starters Matt Milano (hamstring) and Tremaine Edmunds (shoulder) also ruled out. A.J. Klein, Tyler Matakevich and Tyrel Dodson are currently the only healthy linebackers on Buffalo's roster.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers quad injury Phillips is questionable to return to the team's Week 1 contest against the Jets after suffering a quad injury.

Impact It's unclear how Phillips suffered the injury or the severity of the issue. Phillips was serving a depth role among the team's linebacker corps but had yet to make a tackle.
