Phillips agreed to a four-year, $120 million contract with the Panthers on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Phillips' massive new contract won't be finalized until the new league year begins Wednesday. Carolina is banking on a return to form for Miami's 2021 first-round pick, as Phillips had just 6.0 sacks in 21 games split between Miami and Philadelphia over the past two regular seasons after notching at least 6.5 sacks in each of his first three campaigns with the Dolphins.

Phillips recorded 53 tackles (29 solo), including 5.0 sacks, and four passes defended while playing 17 regular-season games during the 2025 campaign.
EDGE Analysis
Phillips missed just one game in 2025 after suffering a torn ACL four weeks into the 2024 campaign, and he was traded from Miami to Philadelphia just ahead of the 2025 trade deadline. Between nine games in the regular season and playoffs, the 26-year-old tallied 2.0 sacks for the Eagles. During the first five years of his career, Phillips has recorded 28 sacks across 63 regular-season games.

Phillips (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Phillips was able to start the week as a full participant after missing last Sunday's loss to the Commanders due to an ankle injury he likely sustained against the Bills in Week 17. The weakside linebacker's ability to start the week with full participation means he should be all set to suit up for Sunday's wild-card game against the 49ers alongside fellow linebackers Zach Baun, Nakobe Dean (hamstring) and Nolan Smith.

Phillips (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders.
EDGE Analysis
Phillips was unable to practice all week due to an ankle injury he sustained in last Sunday's win over the Bills. Jihaad Campbell will likely start Sunday's divisional matchup at weakside linebacker in Phillips' absence. With inside linebacker Nakobe Dean (hamstring) also ruled out, the Eagles are set to give Jalyx Hunt, Joshua Uche and/or Brandon Graham more defensive snaps with the linebacker corps in Week 18.

Phillips (ankle) did not participate at practice Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Phillips was officially unavailable for practice after opening the week as a DNP on the team's estimated injury report Wednesday. The linebacker will have one more chance to return to practice prior to Sunday's contest against Washington.

Phillips (ankle) was listed as a DNP on Wednesday's estimated practice report.
EDGE Analysis
The Eagles hosted a walkthrough practice Wednesday, which Phillips did not participate in due to an ankle injury that he may have picked up against the Bills in Week 17, when he logged six tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one forced fumble. Even if he does return to practice and is cleared to play Sunday against the Commanders, Phillips could operate on a snap count or not play at all if the Eagles opt to rest their prominent players ahead of the postseason.

Phillips (concussion) does not carry an injury designation for Week 14 against the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
Phillips cleared concussion protocol and was a full participant in the team's practice Friday, meaning he is ready to play Monday versus the Chargers. In four games since being traded to the Eagles, the 26-year-old has recorded 15 tackles (eight solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one pass breakup.

Phillips (concussion) was a limited participant in practice Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The edge rusher suffered the concussion late in last Friday's game against the Bears, and he was clearly dazed as he made his way to the sideline. Phillips will need to clear the league's concussion protocol to have a chance to play Monday against the Chargers. The former Dolphin has 15 tackles (eight solo), including 1.0 sacks, a pass breakup and a fumble recovery in four games since being traded to the Eagles.

Phillips (shoulder) was a full participant in practice Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The linebacker was limited during Wednesday's session. Phillips looks very much on track to play Sunday against the Cowboys. In two games with the Eagles since being traded by the Dolphins, the fifth-year pro has recorded 11 tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, and a fumble recovery.

Phillips (shoulder) logged a limited practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Phillips has made a quick impact with the Eagles, logging 11 total tackles, one sack and one recovered fumble across two games. There doesn't appear to be a significant reason for concern regarding his availability for Week 12 against the Cowboys, though it will be worth monitoring his practice participation in the next two days.
