The Miami Dolphins activated linebacker Jaelan Phillips from the physically unable to perform list on Monday.
Phillips, 25, returned to the practice field nearly nine months after tearing his right Achilles tendon in a Week 12 game against the New York Jets on Nov. 24, 2023.
Phillips had recorded at least one sack in each of his last five games before the injury, finishing his third season with 6.5 sacks, 11 quarterback hits, 43 tackles and one interception in eight games (six starts).
Since being drafted in the first round (18th overall) in 2021, Phillips has recorded 22 sacks, 52 QB hits, 146 tackles and three fumble recoveries in 42 games (26 starts).
The Dolphins also signed linebackers David Anenih and Wyatt Ray and placed linebackers Grayson Murphy and Cam Brown on the reserve/injured list.
