For the second straight year, Miami Dolphins outside linebacker Jaelan Phillips has suffered a season-ending injury.
Phillips, 25, announced Wednesday on social media that the knee injury he sustained in Monday night’s 31-12 loss to the Tennessee Titans will require reconstructive surgery.
Last season ended similarly for Phillips, who tore his right Achilles tendon in a Week 12 game against the New York Jets.
“I believe that our lives are defined by how we handle adversity. In these moments of uncertainty, defeat and sorrow, it is natural to question your purpose and wonder what is the meaning of this pain,” Phillips wrote on Instagram.
“I know that my purpose is to inspire people to never give up no matter how many times you get knocked down. I am a living testimony to the power of resilience … There is nothing in life that you can’t overcome as long as you don’t quit. The mission is still the mission. I have unfinished business to take care of and I will come out of this trial victorious,” he added.
Phillips had one sack, two quarterback hits and six tackles this season in four game (three starts).
Since being drafted in the first round (18th overall) in 2021, Phillips has recorded 23 sacks, 54 QB hits, 152 tackles and three fumble recoveries in 46 games (29 starts).
