Miami Dolphins linebacker Jaelan Phillips announced on Instagram he will undergo surgery on his knee that will keep him out for the remainder of the season.
It's déjà vu all over again for Jaelan Phillips. Less than one year after an Achilles tear knocked him out of the Miami Dolphins' final six games, another leg injury is ending the linebacker's season early. During Miami's 31-12 loss to the Tennessee Titans on Monday, Phillips suffered a season-ending knee injury.
In an emotional post on Instagram, Phillips said the injury will require 'reconstructive surgery.' '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. 'I know that my purpose is to inspire people to never give up, no matter how many times you get knocked down.
bleed for this game and my team. I’m devastated to have to miss another season, but my resolve has never been stronger… I’ll be back.' Phillips ruptured his Achilles against the New York Jets on Black Friday last year. It was the second such injury on the field that year, along with that of Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
It's been a rough go for Miami, which is still without quarterback Tua Tagovailoa after he suffered yet another concussion. The Dolphins started Tyler 'Snoop' Huntley at quarterback on Monday, just a week after going with Skylar Thompson.
