Miami Dolphins' Jaelan Phillips Leaves Game with Knee Injury; Defense and Pass Rush Futures in Question

Monday, September 30th, 2024

Miami Dolphins linebacker Jaelan Phillips exited the Monday night game against Tennessee because of a knee injury and did not come back.

In the second quarter, Phillips hurt his right knee and briefly went to the medical tent before returning to the game. However, in the third quarter, he seemed to aggravate the injury again and was taken to the locker room, where he was subsequently ruled out.

Coach Mike McDaniel mentioned that Phillips left the stadium wearing a knee brace but did not offer additional information. If Phillips is unable to play in the upcoming game against New England, the Dolphins could be without their top two pass rushers, as Bradley Chubb is still on the PUP list with a torn ACL.

Chop Robinson, the team's first-round draft pick, is expected to take on a more prominent role in Phillips' absence.
