Miami Dolphins linebacker Jaelan Phillips suffered a torn Achilles and will miss the rest of the season, head coach Mike McDaniel confirmed Saturday.
Phillips left Friday's 34-13 win over the New York Jets after he went down with the noncontact injury late in the fourth quarter.
He was carted off to the locker room. Phillips' absence will presumably lead to increased roles for linebacker Andrew van Ginkel, who has four sacks this season, and defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah, who had 18 total sacks in 2020 and 2021 before signing a $65 million contract in the 2022 offseason.
Phillips is the latest in a long list of players to suffer an injury on the turf field at MetLife Stadium, including Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who tore an Achilles just four plays into the season.
