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
Buffalo or bust
Phillips is still considering whether to continue his playing career in 2026, but if he does, he only wants to play for the Bills, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 33-year-old defensive tackle has had three separate stints with Buffalo, first suiting up for the team in 2018 before returning in 2022 and again in 2024. Phillips ended the 2025 campaign on IR due to an ankle injury and didn't play during the postseason, but he should be fully recovered before training camp should he decide to keep playing.
