Dolphins Star Defender Suffers Season-Ending Injury Before Facing Patriots
Jaelan Phillips was one of Miami's top defenders
The Miami Dolphins will be without one of their premier defenders when they face the New England Patriots in a Week 5 contest.
Dolphins edge rusher Jaelan Phillips announced Wednesday he suffered a season-ending knee injury that will require surgery.
Phillips was Miami’s highest-graded pass rusher through four games, per Pro Football Focus. He started three of four contests and recorded two quarterback hits, two passes defensed and one sack.
Phillips was a first-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft but has struggled to stay healthy (46 games in four seasons).
The Patriots and Dolphins will take the field at Gillette Stadium at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday.
