Coach Adam Gase said that Phillips (ankle) suffered a season-ending injury during Sunday's 18-10 loss to Buffalo, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Phillips was considered doubtful to return Sunday after going down early in the second quarter, and concerns regarding his condition are confirmed as he'll be out for the rest of 2020. The Tennessee product had been experiencing an uptick in involvement the preceding two outings, earning back-to-back starts while fielding at least 40 percent of the defensive workload in each appearance. Nathan Shepherd and John Franklin-Myers will now see an increase in defensive involvement as result of Phillips' injury.

Phillips is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against Buffalo with an ankle injury, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

EDGE Analysis

Phillips was forced to leave the game early in the second quarter, as the specifics of the injury remain unclear. As long as the Tennessee product is sidelined, look for an uptick in snaps at defensive end going to Nathan Shepherd and John Franklin-Myers.

Phillips recorded 39 tackles and 1.5 sacks in his rookie season.

EDGE Analysis

Phillips dressed for 15 games and started four. The 24-year-old defensive end will have the inside track on a depth spot with the Jets in 2020, but he'll have to earn that roster spot in camp.
