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

April 22, 2024
Phillips (pectoral) inked a one-year deal with the Texans on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Phillips spent last year on Cleveland's injured reserve due to a torn pectoral muscle. It was his second straight season-ending pectoral injury, as the same injury ended his 2022 campaign early. The 2020 third-round pick's addition to the Texans' offseason roster indicates his health is back to up to par. He will now compete for a role at linebacker in Houston.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Season likely over
LBCleveland Browns
August 20, 2021
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.
