Phillips was released by the Saints on Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of FOX Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Jairus Byrd now healthy, the Saints no longer have need of Phillips, who played nearly every snap in Weeks 2 and 3. The former first-round draft pick is unlikely to draw interest as anything more than a depth option.

Phillips made eight tackles (five solo) in Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers.

EDGE Analysis

Phillips, who was cut by the Saints following the preseason, re-signed with the team earlier this week and immediately drew the starting nod, after Rafael Bush suffered a season-ending pectoral injury in Week 1. Phillips, a former first round pick, hadn't played in an NFL game since 2012, but he was around the ball often in Week 2. With Jairius Byrd's injury status still up in the air, Phillips could again be in line for significant playing time in Week 3 against run-based Carolina, making him an interesting sleeper option in IDP leagues.

Phillips, who was re-signed by the Saints on Monday, could start at free safety for New Orleans in their Week 2 game against the Buccaneers, reports Mike Triplett of ESPN.com.

EDGE Analysis

With Jairius Byrd still out with a knee injury and Rafael Bush suffering a torn pectoral muscle in the regular season opener, Phillips could be in line to start, or at the very least, see significant action in the Saints' home opener. The former first-round draft pick has struggled with injuries and hasn't played in a game since 2012, but he impressed in the preseason for the Saints. Journeyman Jamarca Sanford will also likely see playing time, alongside strong safety starter Kenny Vaccaro.

Phillips has been re-signed by the Saints, The Times-Picayune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Phillips spent this summer with the Saints, but was released by the team as their final roster cut following the preseason. However, with starting free safety Rafael Bush having suffered an upper body injury Sunday and Jairus Byrd still dealing with a knee issue, Phillips will rejoin the Saints to boost their secondary. No stranger to injuries of his own, Phillips has not played in the NFL since 2012.

The Saints have signed Phillips to a reserve/future contract, ESPN.com reports. Phillips hasn't played in a regular season game since 2012 due to a series of injuries, but if the 2008 first-rounder can re-prove his health, he could be a useful addition to the Saints' safety corps next season.

Eagles released S Kenny Phillips. Phillips was the 31st overall pick in the 2008 draft. While he's flashed All Pro-type ability in the rare instances he's been healthy, Phillips has not been the latter much over the past several seasons. Another team will likely give Phillips one more shot, but he's running out of time despite only being 26.

The Philadelphia Inquirer believes the Eagles could cut FS Kenny Phillips by Tuesday. Tuesday is the day teams have to trim their rosters down to 75 players. Phillips has missed the last two preseason games with a quadriceps injury, and he's missed a ton of practice time. The Eagles are desperate for help next to SS Pat Chung, but it looks like Nate Allen is the favorite to start at free safety. Phillips signed a one-year, $2 million deal in an effort to rehab his value.

Eagles S Kenny Phillips "isn't moving very well" in training camp practices. Pat Chung has already locked up starting strong safety duties, and Nate Allen is the favorite at free. Phillips needs to worry about his roster spot. He can't shake his troublesome knee woes and his contract has no guaranteed money.

Eagles FS Kenny Phillips (knee) is a full participant in minicamp. Phillips missed a good chunk of OTAs, but is now back to participating in team drills. Provided he avoids a setback - which is not a given - he'll be 100 percent for training camp, where he'll have to hold off Nate Allen for a starting job.

Eagles FS Kenny Phillips is expected to resume practice at the team's mini camp in June. Annually injury-prone, Phillips has been sitting out of OTAs as a precaution. He's battled lingering knee issues since entering the league, but anticipates being back on the field for the team's final mini camp in early June.
