Phillips (hamstring) is active for Sunday night's wild-card contest against the Patriots.
EDGE Analysis
Phillips will be good to go for the first round of the playoffs after opening the week on the sidelines at practice with a hamstring injury. The 29-year-old has developed into a rather substantial asset on special teams, and he'll look to make a splash play versus New England.

Phillips (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Patriots, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old upgraded from a DNP on Wednesday to limited practice Friday, suggesting he's trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's playoff contest. Phillips is a key special-teamer for the Chargers (352 special-teams snaps), recording 37 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, over 17 appearances this season. If active for the wild-card matchup, he's expected to play a depth role in Los Angeles' linebacker corps while contributing on special teams.

Phillips (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
EDGE Analysis
Phillips was a late addition to Saturday's injury report due to a hamstring injury, but he has been cleared to play in Sunday's regular-season finale. He's mostly served on special teams this season, but given that the Chargers are locked into a wild-card spot for the AFC playoffs, he may see more defensive snaps in Week 18 if Daiyan Henley operates on a snap count.

Phillips (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Phillips has been healthy all season but must have picked up the injury late in the week during practice. He's primarily played on special teams this season, but the Chargers are projected to rest many of their starters. If Phillips, can suit up, he could be in line for a larger role as a result.

The Texans placed Phillips (shoulder) on the active/PUP list Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old played in all 17 regular-season games for Baltimore last season, but he missed both playoff contests with a shoulder injury that is apparently still not 100 percent. Phillips signed a one-year deal with Houston in the offseason and will serve as defensive depth while filling a key role on special teams.
