Let go by Dallas The Cowboys released Phillips on Tuesday.

Impact Phillips was placed on the Cowboys' injured reserve Sept. 18 due to a wrist injury. He logged full practices in each of the last two weeks, but rather than be reinstated from IR, the 2015 second-round pick will instead be looking to join a team in need of veteran depth at defensive tackle.

Not returning for Week 9 Phillips (wrist) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup versus Atlanta, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Impact Phillips is making his way back from a wrist injury that landed him on IR on Sept. 18. The defensive tackle was designated to return Oct. 23 and has logged six straight full practices since, but the Cowboys aren't yet ready to activate him. The team has until Nov. 13 to do before his 21-day practice window expires.

Won't be activated ahead of Week 8 Phillips (wrist) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the 49ers, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Phillips' 21-day window to return from injured reserve opened Wednesday. He was a full practice participant all week, but the Cowboys will err on the side of caution and hold the 2015 second-round pick out for at least one more week. Barring any setbacks, Phillips should be on track to make his return for the Cowboys' Week 9 contest against the Falcons on Sunday, Nov. 3. In the meantime, Linval Joseph and Carlos Watkins will continue to serve as Dallas' backup interior defensive lineman behind starters Mazi Smith and Osa Odighizuwa.

Designated to return from IR The Cowboys designated Phillips (wrist) to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Phillips was placed on injured reserve Sept. 18 while in the final stages of his recovery from wrist surgery from last season. He was a full participant during Wednesday's practice session, and if he's able to practice without restriction over the next two days, he should be activated off IR ahead of Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Placed on injured reserve The Cowboys placed Phillips (wrist) on injured reserve Wednesday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Phillips underwent wrist surgery last season while playing for the Bills, but it remains to be seen whether his current injury is related. He'll now be forced to miss at least Dallas' next four games, making Oct. 27 versus the 49ers the earliest possible date for his return. To help replace Jenkins, the Cowboys inked Carlos Watkins from the Commanders' practice squad.

Won't have window opened yet Coach Sean McDermott said Wednesday that Buffalo doesn't plan to open Phillips' (wrist) 21-day practice window before Sunday's divisional round game against the Chiefs, Alaina Getz...

Impact Phillips has spent the requisite four games on IR, but the team doesn't feel that he's in a spot to return yet. If Buffalo continues to advance in the postseason, Phillips could be a candidate to rejoin the team in later rounds.

IR stint likely Phillips (wrist) will be placed on injured reserve Thursday, according to head coach Sean McDermott, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.

Impact Phillips underwent surgery earlier in the week after dislocating his wrist in Sunday's win over the Cowboys. The veteran defensive tackle was optimistic he could be back in time for the playoffs if Buffalo does get in, but a move to IR would at least keep him through the Wild Card round. The Bills will have to turn to Tim Settle, Linval Joseph and Poona Ford for extra snaps while Phillips is sidelined.

Still sidelined Phillips (wrist) did not practice Wednesday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Phillips' absence isn't surprising after the veteran defensive tackle suffered a dislocated wrist in Sunday's win over the Cowboys and underwent surgery to repair it. According to Ryan O'Halloran of The Buffalo News, Phillips is hoping to return in time for the playoffs, if the Bills do get in, so he'll likely be sidelined the rest of the week, including Saturday's game against the Chargers.

Ready to go Sunday Phillips (knee) is active for Sunday's contest against the Jets, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Undergoes rotator cuff surgery Phillips (shoulder) had surgery to repair his torn rotator cuff after the 2022 season, Michael Giardi of NFL Network reports.

Impact Phillips, a pending free agent, appeared in 13 games during the 2022 campaign and totaled 21 tackles and 1.5 sacks. It's unclear when he suffered the injury, but he saw a reduced role down the stretch and played just 17 snaps during the Bills' divisional-round loss to Cincinnati.

Dealing with torn rotator cuff Phillips has been dealing with a torn rotator cuff and will undergo surgery this offseason, Bridget Condon of NFL Network reports.

Will play Sunday Phillips (shoulder) is active Sunday against the Bengals, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact Phillips will return to play after missing the team's wild-card win over the Dolphins. The veteran defensive tackle has also missed multiple games this season due to the injury, but after he was able to log limited practices throughout the week he'll take the field in the divisional round. His return should be a boost to Buffalo's defensive front.

JANUARY 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as questionable Phillips (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's divisional-round matchup against the Bengals, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Impact Phillips was inactive for the Bills' wild-card win over Miami due to a lingering shoulder injury that has sidelined him since Week 16. The veteran defensive tackle returned to practice this week, but he was a limited participant Wednesday through Friday and is a question mark for Sunday. DaQuan Jones (calf) is also questionable, so Tim Settle and Kendal Vickers could be candidates for increased roles if Jones and Phillips are both ruled out.
