Jaelan Phillips didn’t practice with the Miami Dolphins on Friday due to an injury, coach Mike McDaniel told the media. The third-year pass rusher was stepped on early in the first practice and the team didn’t want to take any chances.
“Jaelan, on the second play of training camp, got stepped on. He has an injury that we’re not worried about but would not be healed if he continued to practice,” McDaniel said. “We’re just being smart with it.”
Phillips ranked fourth in the NFL with 19 quarterback hits and seventh with 48 quarterback hurries last season.
