Won't play Sunday Phillips (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's wild-card matchup against Miami.

Impact Phillips didn't practice Wednesday through Friday due to a lingering shoulder injury that has sidelined him since Week 16, so it's not surprising to see him ultimately inactive. In Phillips' absence, Tim Settle, Kendal Vickers and Eli Ankou will be the backup defensive tackles behind Ed Oliver and DaQuan Jones.

Officially questionable Phillips (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Dolphins.

Impact Phillips didn't practice Wednesday through Friday due to a lingering shoulder injury that has sidelined him since Week 16. Nonetheless, the veteran defensive lineman will still have a chance to suit up Sunday against the team that drafted him in 2015. Across 12 regular-season appearances with Buffalo, Phillips totaled 20 tackles, two pass defenses and 1.5 sacks while playing a rotational role along the Bills' defensive line.

Impact Phillips has been dealing with a shoulder injury since the Week 12 win over New England, keeping him sidelined until Week 16 versus Chicago. The 30-year-old has now logged back-to-back DNPs during the first week of playoff prep, leaving him with just one more opportunity to increase his practice activity before Sunday's wild-card matchup against Miami.

Will play Saturday Phillips (shoulder) is active for Saturday's contest in Chicago, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.

Impact Phillips sat out each of Buffalo's previous two games while dealing with a shoulder injury, but he'll return Week 16 after logging three limited practices.

Impact Phillips has missed the Bills' last two games with tending to a shoulder injury, which kept him limited during each practice of Week 16 prep.

Will remain out Phillips (shoulder) will not play Saturday against the Dolphins, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact Phillips suffered the injury Week 13 against the Patriots and missed Week 14 against the Jets. He'll now miss his second consecutive game with the injury. His absence takes on greater importance as Ed Oliver continues to nurse a pectoral injury that has him currently questionable for Saturday's game with the Dolphins, which could leave Buffalo without two of its top interior linemen.

Ruled out for Week 14 Phillips (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Jets, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Impact After suffering a shoulder injury in Week 13 versus the Patriots, Phillips will be forced to miss at least one contest while nursing the injury. In his absence in Week 14, Tim Settle could see a slight uptick in usage on the defensive line. Phillips will now shift his focus to being ready for the Bills' Saturday night matchup with the Dolphins in Week 15.

Exits late Thursday Phillips was ruled out before the end of Thursday's game against the Patriots with a shoulder injury, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Phillips went down after attempting to sack Patriots quarterback Mac Jones late in the fourth quarter, and he was able to exit under his own power, according to Matt Parrino of The Syracuse Post-Standard. While the nature of this injury is unclear, it's possible he was simply ruled out given how little time was left in the contest. Either way, it will be worth monitoring Phillips' status heading into Week 14's contest versus the Jets on Sunday, Dec. 11.
