Miami Dolphins pass rusher Jaelan Phillips exited Friday’s game against the New York Jets after suffering an Achilles injury in the fourth quarter.
The Jets were lined up for a 2nd-and-10 play in the fourth quarter while down 27-6. Phillips was getting set to rush the passer but went down with an injury.
Video replays showed that Phillips’ right calf muscle vibrated before he went down, which is typical of a torn Achilles tendon injury.
