• Vikings' Harrison Phillips: Starts all 17 games again in 2024

  Rotowire Jan 20, 2025

  Phillips finished the 2024 season with 56 tackles (16 solo), including 2.0 sacks, four pass breakups, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 17 regular-season contests. Phillips has started all 51 games since signing with the Vikings as a free agent prior to the 2022 season. After setting career highs in playing time (74 percent of the defensive snaps) and tackles (92) in 2023, Phillips' snap rate was dialed back to a more manageable 59 percent this past season. Phillips turns 29 years old Jan. 25 and has two years left on his contract after inking a two-year, $15 million extension back in September.

• Vikings' Harrison Phillips: Logs six tackles against Packers

  Rotowire Dec 30, 2024

  Phillips totaled six tackles (one solo) during Minnesota's 27-25 win over Green Bay on Sunday. Phillips finished Sunday's game as the Vikings' second-leading tackler behind Blake Cashman (11). Phillips is now up to 50 tackles (15 solo), including 2.0 sacks, four pass defenses, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 16 regular-season games. His defensive snap count has noticeable decreased over the last three games, but the Vikings will need the best out of Phillips for the regular-season finale against the Lions next Sunday in a game that will determine the NFC's No. 1 seed heading into the postseason.

• Vikings' Harrison Phillips: Ready for Sunday

  Rotowire Dec 20, 2024

  Phillips (knee) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Seahawks. The 28-year-old opened Minnesota's week of practice with consecutive limited sessions due to a knee injury, but he upgraded to a full workload Friday, suggesting he's moved past the issue in time to play Sunday. With Phillips back at full health, he's expected to serve as one of the Vikings' top interior defensive linemen in Week 16.

• Vikings' Harrison Phillips: Cleared Sunday

  Rotowire Dec 8, 2024

  Phillips (back) is available for Sunday's game versus the Falcons. Phillips was a late addition to the Vikings' injury report Friday following a limited session. It looks like Minnesota was simply exercising caution, as he is set to suit up Sunday at home against Atlanta.

  Rotowire Sep 24, 2024

  Phillips had one total tackle and blocked a pass attempt at the line that turned into an interception for Kamu Grugier-Hill in Sunday's win over Houston. Phillips is disruptive on the defensive line but that doesn't often result in sacks or tackle stats for him as the team's starting nose tackle.

• Vikings' Harrison Phillips: Logs sack versus Giants

  Rotowire Sep 9, 2024

  Phillips recorded five tackles (one solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Minnesota's 28-6 win over the Giants on Sunday.

• Vikings' Harrison Phillips: Another solid year on the interior

  Rotowire Jan 14, 2024

  Phillips tallied 92 tackles (44 solo), 3.0 sacks and two passes defended during his 2023 season. Phillips continued to shine in his second season in Minnesota, expanding on his increased role upon his arrival from Buffalo in 2022. His 92 total tackles were a career high, by a significant margin, besting his 59 from 2022. His 3.0 sacks also outdid his previous high of 1.5 from last season. The 27-year-old is under contract for one more year and should return to his role as the team's primary nose tackle in the next campaign.

• Vikings' Harrison Phillips: Questionable for Sunday

  Rotowire Dec 22, 2023

  Phillips (back) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Lions. The veteran nose tackle could be trending in the right direction to play Sunday, as he's gone from two DNPs to open Minnesota's week of practice to a limited session Friday. If Phillips is unable to suit up in Week 16, Khyiris Tonga would likely see increased snaps on the Vikings' defensive line.

• Vikings' Harrison Phillips: Managing back injury

  Rotowire Dec 20, 2023

  Phillips (back) was estimated as a non-participant for Wednesday's walk-through practice due to a back injury. Phillips is nursing the back injury after playing 53 snaps and recording two tackles in the Vikings' 27-24 overtime loss to the Bengals in Week 15. If he's able to upgrade to full participation in practice by Friday, he should head into Sunday's game against the Lions without a designation.

• Bills' Harrison Phillips: Quicker-than-expected recovery

  Rotowire Sep 2, 2021

  Phillips was back at practice Wednesday after missing time with a knee injury, Mark Gaughan of The Buffalo News reports. Phillips had been a candidate for IR to begin the season, but general manager Brandon Beane stated Wednesday that the lineman is one of the players who may avoid that designation. While the fourth-year player out of Stanford isn't much of an IDP guy, he's a decent run stopper and can only help as the Steelers try to run the ball against the Bills' high-powered squad in Week 1, assuming of course Phillips keeps progressing and can be active for the game.

• Bills' Harrison Phillips: Ready for promotion

  Rotowire Mar 6, 2019

  Phillips, who recently completed his rookie season after being the Bills' third-round pick out of Stanford, is the likeliest candidate to take over for the open starting defensive tackle job, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports. "Harrison will compete. He did a good job in year one," general manager Brandon Beane said. "He'll compete to definitely start. I can't say he'll win it, but Harrison did a great job of bringing depth to us last year." The Bills did re-sign Jordan Phillips -- who will also compete for the job -- on Tuesday, while there's also a ton of free cap money available to beef up the defensive line following the retirement of longtime starter Kyle Williams, among other positions. Even if he has to share the starting job, Harrison Phillips seems a sure bet to take a step up from his 20-tackle rookie season, while he's still looking for his first NFL sack.
