Phillips (triceps) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Rams, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Phillips won't come off IR in Week 17, making Atlanta's regular-season finale against the Saints in Week 18 his final chance to retake the field during the 2025 campaign. The 2023 fourth-round pick hasn't played since Week 4.

Phillips (triceps) was a limited participant in Friday's practice, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Phillips has been on injured reserve since Oct. 18, and Friday constitutes his first on-field practice since suffering the triceps injury. With cornerback Mike Hughes (ankle) unlikely to suit up for Monday night's game against the Rams, the remainder of the week for Phillips will be key. If the 24-year-old can string practices together, he may be able to be activated off injured reserve and start Monday's game at outside cornerback.

Phillips (triceps), who remains on IR, is estimated as a limited participant on Thursday's practice report, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Phillips had his 21-day practice window opened Wednesday, so though Atlanta didn't actually host an on-field practice Thursday, it's encouraging to see him estimated as at least a limited participant. In order to be activated in time to play Monday versus the Rams, however, Phillips will likely have to prove himself capable of handling full practice reps Friday and/or Saturday.

The Falcons designated Phillips (triceps) for return from IR on Wednesday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Phillips has played in just one game this season -- Week 4 against Washington, when he logged nine special-teams snaps and suffered a triceps injury. He was placed on injured reserve Oct. 18 and has been there since. Phillips will now have his 21-day practice window opened and can be activated at any time, but with just two games remaining on Atlanta's schedule, it remains to be seen if he'll get into a game before the regular season is over.

The Falcons placed Phillips (triceps/illness) on injured reserve Saturday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Phillips has been unable to practice for the last two weeks and did not play against the Bills in Week 6 due to a triceps injury. He'll now be required to miss at least the next four games while on injured reserve, and the earliest he can be activated is ahead of the Falcons' Week 11 home clash against the Panthers on Sunday, Nov. 16.

Phillips (triceps) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the 49ers, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Phillips didn't practice all week and is now in line to miss his fifth game this season due to ribs and triceps injuries. Once the third-year pro from Utah returns to full health, he'll likely operate as one of the Falcons' top reserve outside cornerbacks.

Phillips (triceps) has been ruled out for Atlanta's game Monday versus the Bills, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

Phillips popped up on the injury report Saturday and will now miss his fourth game of the season. The 23-year-old has appeared in just one contest this season, recording one solo tackle while playing exclusively on special teams.

Phillips (ribs) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game versus Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

Phillips was limited in practice earlier in the week but has been cleared to play in the Week 1 opener. He appeared in 16 regular-season games last season, logging 35 tackles (27 solo), five pass breakups, including one interception, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery. He's expected to be the top backup cornerback on the outside behind starters A.J. Terrell and Mike Hughes.

Phillips (ribs) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Phillips has opened the week with back-to-back limited practice sessions while working through a rib injury. His activity level during Friday's practice will determine whether he has an injury tag heading into Sunday's regular-season opener against Tampa Bay. Clark played in 16 regular-season games (two starts) in 2024 and finished with 35 tackles (27 solo), five pass defenses (one interception), two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery.

Phillips (ribs) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Phillips has been dealing with a rib injury since early August which has prevented him from practicing. He'll have two more chances to return to practice this week and avoid an injury tag heading into Sunday's regular-season opener against the Buccaneers. Natrone Brooks would be in line to see more rotational snaps at outside corner behind starters Mike Hughes and A.J. Terrell if Phillips is unable to play.
