For this week’s intraconference game against the Los Angeles Chargers, defensive tackle Jordan Phillips and safety Micah Hyde are expected to be sidelined for the Buffalo Bills and head coach Sean McDermott.
Due to a wrist injury, Phillips was placed on injured reserve and will not be available for the duration of the regular season. It appears that the injury happened during this play versus the Dallas Cowboys:
Jordan Phillips of the #Bills suffered a right wrist injury on this play.
You can see his wrist slams heel first into Steele’s buttocks.
Certainly going through differential diagnosis for immediate surgery last night.
As you can see, his wrist strikes Steele’s buttocks with its heel first.
Going through differential diagnosis for last night’s emergency operation was undoubtedly necessary.
First guesses include fractures, dislocations, and displacements.
Since playing against the Kansas City Chiefs on December 10, Hyde has been sidelined due to a neck injury. Hyde took part in this week’s practice, but coach Sean McDermott of WGR 550 Sports Radio claims that
Phillips is a pillar of the Bills’ interior defensive line. In addition, the Bills have a dearth of depth at the position as they attempt to advance to the postseason.
