Jaelan Phillips of the Miami Dolphins is optimistic about his return as he recovers from a second consecutive season-ending injury. After suffering an Achilles tear in 2023, he faced an ACL injury early in the 2024 season, which he described as a significantly easier recovery process. He noted that he was able to walk within a week of surgery and return to daily activities shortly after.

Speaking to the media post-minicamp, the 6-foot-5 linebacker shared his positive mindset and confidence in his healing abilities. Phillips emphasized the importance of taking care of his body and expressed gratitude for good genetics, which have aided his recovery.
