Jaelan Phillips Shares Inspirational Comeback Message

Jaelan Phillips has had some unfortunate luck over the past two seasons, first suffering an Achilles injury, only to return and then sustain an ACL injury.

Those two injuries, back to back, would have beaten down some men and crushed their spirits.

But not Jaelan Phillips, who this week posted an inspirational message on social media.

Phillips will hopefully be ready for the start of the 2025 season. He is practicing now, but is also being closely monitored to prevent re-injury or any type of setback.

When asked about the status of Phillips (as well as Bradley Chubb) this week, Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said,

Both of them have basically made their offseason an in-season with how they approach their work. As a result, they’re both able to really participate in most things, most days, being cautious and using the science on their recovery. So someday, depends on what day you’re out there, you’ll probably see one, if not both. There will be a day or two where we’re going to have to back off that, but very happy with where they’re at and know that they’re as excited as ever. I mean, they’re the most excited practice players of all time right now. I think that it’s a cool piece for our team to feel, because it’s an authentic appreciation, and much like most people, most of us, you don’t always know exactly to the level of what you have until it’s removed from you. So these guys are exemplifying everything we’re asking of players right now.
