US EditionBills Bringing Back DT Jordan Phillips, Begin Cutting Down to 53-Man Roster
Jordan Phillips returns to bolster the Buffalo Bills' defensive line, bringing experience and leadership to a team focused on championship aspirations and strong defensive performance.
- On Sunday, August 24, the Buffalo Bills brought back veteran defensive tackle Jordan Phillips for a fourth stint, with Tom Pelissero reporting Phillips visited Buffalo and is expected to sign later this week ahead of the Tuesday, August 26 roster deadline.
- Phillips' familiarity with Buffalo and prior seasons made him an attractive option, with the Bills viewing his return as a strategic move to build a championship-caliber roster and add veteran depth from his time with the Miami Dolphins, Arizona Cardinals, and Dallas Cowboys.
- Phillips faces a six-game PED suspension and has made 129 regular-season appearances, nearly half with the Buffalo Bills, but reduced playing time in recent years may impact his roster chances.
- The signing could threaten Larry Ogunjobi's roster spot as sources differ on Phillips joining the 53-man roster or practice squad, with Buffalo Bills holding just $1.87MM in cap space.
- Phillips' presence should help mentor younger linemen and energize the defense, freeing teammates like T.J. Sanders and Deone Walker to make impactful plays as Buffalo prepares for the AFC East.
