Houston cut Phillips on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Phillips totaled 88 tackles, including 3.0 sacks, over 20 regular-season games during his first three seasons in the league with the Browns. However, he missed all of last year due to a torn pectoral muscle and was then signed to a one-year deal by the Texans in April. Phillips won't make the 53-man roster, however, and will now likely seek work with another organization.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Phillips returns for the final year of his rookie contract and needs to play better than he did in 2022 if he wants a fifth year and beyond. He was pressed into full-time duty due to injuries, and his play suffered as a result. Phillips eventually sustained a season-ending pectoral injury and was limited to seven games. He'll start the season as a fourth linebacker.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Season likely over
The biceps injury Phillips sustained in practice Thursday is a torn biceps tendon, which will likely keep the linebacker out for the entire season, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Phillips was in line to play a prominent role on Cleveland's defense on the heels of a strong rookie season from the 2020 third-round pick. The Browns are thin at linebacker after Anthony Walker, and they'll likely try to address that deficiency by bringing in somebody from outside the organization.
