Phillips has been my man crush since he was drafted. He has gravitas to be the leader on defense.
That being said, it’s hard to fully recover from an Achilles injury without losing a little spring… hope he’s one of the rare few that can rehab back to an elite level.

Sucks but he had plenty of spring to lose. It’s guys like Nik Needham who didn’t have have an inch of athleticism to lose.
I checked the stats - 73% of NFL players return to play within a year after achilles tendon surgery (83% of MLS soccer players). However, it should be stressed that most show improvement in their playing performance the subsequent season after returning.
It's a good to see Jaelan walking well after just 3 months. Obviously working hard on his rehab. We need him.
Rock n roll baby WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
That's great news!!!!
....also its great to be young like him and be able to heal fast again

Glad to hear this. Phillips is a big part of this team and a quality person! Hope to see him back on the field soon....
We obviously need him 100% healthy, specially early on since Chubb will most likely miss time early on.
Cam Wake was back for training camp in '16 after tearing his Achilles in October '15. He had 11.5 sacks in '16, that's a lofty goal indeed but I'm encouraged by the fact that Phillips is a physical freak of nature as was Cam Wake. It can be done.

He’s been training with his cat, Mister 
We struck gold with him, can’t wait to see him back on the field. And the added bonus is as some mentioned he is a very high character human being
