The Cleveland Browns officially placed LB Jacob Phillips on injured reserve Saturday and waived DB Bubba Bolden with an injury designation.
Phillips suffered a torn pectoral muscle during Friday’s preseason game that is expected to end his 2023 season, so this move was expected.
Phillips, 24, is a former third-round pick of the Browns back in 2020 out of LSU. He’s currently in the final year of his four-year, $4,499,404 rookie contract that included an $832,295 signing bonus.
He was previously placed on injured reserve back in October of 2022 due to a torn pectoral, which also ended his season.
In 2022, Phillips appeared in seven games for the Browns and recorded 46 total tackles, two tackles for loss, two sacks, and a pass deflection.
