Browns Officially Place LB Jacob Phillips On IR, Waive/Injured DB Bubba Bolden

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.
