Jaelan Phillips recovery timeline
Jaelan Phillips suffered the injury in the fourth quarter of the game as the Dolphins were cruising to a comfortable win. Unfortunately, this means he will be unable to play for the rest of the season, which is a significant setback for his team.
The Miami Dolphins are Super Bowl contenders this season, and after Jalen Ramsey's return, the team's defense was playing quite well. Phillips, who is one of their best players, is likely to get healthy before the start of the next season.
Aaron Rodgers suffered the same injury in Week 1, and he is expected to play again this season. His recovery will set an example for other players to follow, and it will help Phillips in getting back in good shape.
