2023 Fantasy Outlook
Phillips returns for the final year of his rookie contract and needs to play better than he did in 2022 if he wants a fifth year and beyond. He was pressed into full-time duty due to injuries, and his play suffered as a result. Phillips eventually sustained a season-ending pectoral injury and was limited to seven games. He'll start the season as a fourth linebacker. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Officially placed on IR
The Browns placed Phillips (pectoral) on injured reserve Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Adam Schefter of ESPN reported earlier Saturday that Phillips would miss the remainder of the 2023 campaign after suffering a torn pectoral muscle in Friday's preseason loss to Washington, so the linebacker's shift to injured reserve is merely transactional. Phillips also suffered a season-ending pectoral injury in 2022, but he appeared to have moved past that issue when he was back in action during the Browns' offseason workouts this summer. Either way, the 2020 third-round pick has a lengthy recovery ahead of him and isn't under contract for 2024.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Season likely over
The biceps injury Phillips sustained in practice Thursday is a torn biceps tendon, which will likely keep the linebacker out for the entire season, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Phillips was in line to play a prominent role on Cleveland's defense on the heels of a strong rookie season from the 2020 third-round pick. The Browns are thin at linebacker after Anthony Walker, and they'll likely try to address that deficiency by bringing in somebody from outside the organization.
