Jaelan Phillips Seemingly Believes He'll Be Ready For Week 1

7 months ago

Miami Dolphins linebacker Jaelan Phillips (Achilles) continues to rehab after tearing his Achilles in the Week 12 win over the New York Jets in November. After undergoing surgery and ditching a walking boot, the 24-year-old appears to have a chance to be ready for Week 1 of the 2024-25 campaign. Phillips, while speaking with ESPN on Saturday, stated he's "attacking it every day" while adding he'll "definitely" be back healthy for the season. The 2021 No. 18 overall pick has been a menace since entering the league, totaling 146 tackles (88 solo), 22 sacks, and one interception in 42 career games. With that in mind, while Phillips' optimism is encouraging for IDP managers, he could have a tough time getting back to form after coming off such a devastating injury.
