Houston cut Phillips on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Phillips totaled 88 tackles, including 3.0 sacks, over 20 regular-season games during his first three seasons in the league with the Browns. However, he missed all of last year due to a torn pectoral muscle and was then signed to a one-year deal by the Texans in April. Phillips won't make the 53-man roster, however, and will now likely seek work with another organization.

Phillips (pectoral) inked a one-year deal with the Texans on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE 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.

The Browns placed Phillips (pectoral) on injured reserve Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Adam Schefter of ESPN reported earlier Saturday that Phillips would miss the remainder of the 2023 campaign after suffering a torn pectoral muscle in Friday's preseason loss to Washington, so the linebacker's shift to injured reserve is merely transactional. Phillips also suffered a season-ending pectoral injury in 2022, but he appeared to have moved past that issue when he was back in action during the Browns' offseason workouts this summer. Either way, the 2020 third-round pick has a lengthy recovery ahead of him and isn't under contract for 2024.

Phillips will miss the remainder of the 2023 season after suffering a torn pectoral muscle in Friday's 17-15 preseason loss to Washington, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Phillips' 2022 campaign also came to a premature end due to a pectoral injury, so this is an unfornuate break. He had seemingly moved past the injury when he participated in the Browns' OTAs. The 2020 third-round pick will now focus on another recovery journey.

Phillips left Friday's preseason opener with a shoulder injury, Ashley Bastock of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

EDGE Analysis

While the severity of the injury is not yet known, Phillips was seen with a sling on his right arm following the game. Prior to sustaining the injury, he recorded five tackles (three solo). When healthy, the Browns are hopeful he can provide depth at linebacker for them this season.

Phillips has fully recovered from his pectoral injury, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Phillips is participating in OTAs as he seems to be fully healthy. The 2020 third-round pick appeared in seven games during the 2022 campaign and logged 46 tackles (29 solo) and two sacks and will likely serve as a backup to Anthony Walker next season.

The Browns placed Phillips (pectoral) on injured reserve Wednesday, Anthony Poisal of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Phillips' placement on IR comes just two days after coach Kevin Stefanski said that his injury is likely a season-ending pectoral tear. Last season, a biceps injury limited Phillips to just four appearances. In his stead, Cleveland will likely lean on Deion Jones, who was acquired from Atlanta via trade Oct. 10.

Phillips is believed to have sustained a season-ending pectoral injury during Sunday's loss at Baltimore, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's a tough blow to a Cleveland front seven that was already struggling to defend the run. If Phillips does indeed miss the remainder of the 2022 campaign, the Browns will probably need to lean more heavily on Deion Jones at linebacker.

Phillips left Sunday's game against the Ravens with a shoulder injury and will not return, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

Phillips' inability to return will force Deion Jones to handle middle-linebacker duties for the rest of the game. The former will work to return in Week 8 against the Bengals.

Phillips recorded 10 tackles (four solo) in the Browns' 38-15 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Phillips has now recorded double-digit tackles for the second week in a row, while playing 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps. The third-year pro has filled in admirably, at least on the stat sheet, for Anthony Walker who is out for the season due to a torn quadriceps. Phillips will look to keep stacking up the tackles Sunday against the Ravens.
