Jaelan Phillips missed three of six games this season for the Miami Dolphins but is on track to play in back-to-back games for the first time. The former first-round pick was limited in practice last week before playing 30 snaps in Sunday’s win over the Carolina Panthers.
Miami’s third-year pass rusher had a full week of practice and is set to play against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday Night Football. That said, the Dolphins are still taking it slow with Phillips as he recovers from an oblique injury.
“We’re still not going to play him full time, not like he was in the first game,” defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said on Thursday.
