Cleveland Browns linebacker Jacob Phillips departed Friday night's preseason game against the Washington Commanders with an injury. On Saturday, the diagnosis for him was revealed to not be good: for the second year in a row, he has suffering a torn pectoral and will have season-ending surgery.
Last year, Phillips suffered a pectoral injury after replacing Anthony Walker in the starting lineup (who was out with an injury of his own). The year before that, he missed significant time with a biceps injury. To say that health has been unkind to Phillips during his young career would be an understatement.
