Phillips Out for Season with Knee Injury

Miami Dolphins linebacker Jaelan Phillips has announced he will miss the remainder of the 2024 NFL season due to a knee injury that requires reconstructive surgery. This marks the second consecutive season Phillips will miss significant time, following a season-ending Achilles injury in 2023. Phillips sustained the knee injury during a game against the Tennessee Titans and initially returned to play before the injury forced him to exit permanently. The Dolphins, already struggling with a 1-3 start and other key injuries, face a challenging season, exacerbated by the loss of Phillips. Emmanuel Ogbah is expected to fill Phillips' role on the defense. Phillips expressed determination to return stronger, citing his faith and resolve despite the setback.
