Jacob Phillips appears to have been lost for the remainder of the 2022 NFL season.
The former LSU linebacker, now in his 3rd season with the Cleveland Browns, has suffered a torn pectoral, per Adam Schefter. He will now require surgery and miss the rest of the season.
Phillips, a 3rd-round draft pick in 2020, made 21 tackles in 9 games as a rookie, starting 3. His 2021 season, where he made 10 tackles and registered a sack, only saw him play in 4 games and start 1 due to a biceps injury that sidelined him for nearly 3-and-a-half-months.
He had made 40 stops through the first 7 games of the 2022 season before his injury on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens won that game, 23-20.
The Browns are currently 2-5 and have lost their last 4 games. They host the Cincinnati Bengals on “Monday Night Football” on Oct. 31.
Browns’ starting linebacker Jacob Phillips tore his pec during Sunday’s loss to Baltimore and now likely will need season-ending surgery, per source.
