I'm not sure how to even respond to that. Do you know how bad his calf is/when he injured it exactly? I didn't think so...he could be managing a very minor strain...everyone is dealing with something this time of year. At least we have our starting slot and our 3rd DT back...does that satisfy your pessimism? Quote

So no Miller, no Hyde, no Crowder, a questionable Phillips and now a newly injured DJones. In other words, exactly the same as last week, except worse; and it's the "best in a quite a while"? I think your reporting skills need polished up a bit. DaQuan Jones not being healthy, is an issue 3 Quote

Phillips' shoulder is shot. He can barely lift his arm and it's been that way for weeks. I've seen it rumored he has a torn labrum. If that's actually the case, he should probably just be shutdown and get the surgery done and get on the road to recovery. Quote

I'd hate to see him come in, make 2-3 tackles, and hobble to the sideline (because I think that's all he's capable of doing). Hell of a way to burn a roster spot. 2 Quote

He started missing time with weeks 3 and 4. Since week 13 he played once with one tackle against the Bears. If his shoulder was such a nagging issue, why didn't they IR him and get it healed? Now Jones is gimpy and while Settle is an ok guy, Eli, is no replacement for J.P. Our best pairing is J.P. and Oliver. SHOOT HIM UP! 6 hours ago, Process said: Definitely feels like they mismanaged Jordan and his injury. And of course he's also to blame for getting hurt diving at air. 6 hours ago, Mango said: Not a doctor. But the best I can come up with is that Philips needs surgery. But surgery would end his season, so he tried to limp through hoping he wouldn't get worse. But then he got worse... The Bills generally do an excellent job with managing injuries. In Jordan Phillips' case I wonder if he should have gone on IR... I wonder if trying to come back too soon aggravated the injury. Can't cry over it now. 5 hours ago, Billz4ever said: Anyone else have the feeling Josh is going to have surgery on his elbow as soon as the season is over? If so it would probably be minor to just clean it up a bit. 5 hours ago, Tom Donahoe, GM said: Von just said on the radio in my head that he's going to tape the leg up like a big peg leg and play Sunday you heard it here first Like Chester on Gunsmoke?

Going to need him to knock some pass catchers around the next three games. I'm still excited that Kaiir Elam and Tre White are playing their best football of the season and that Taron Johnson's head injury against Cinci didn't prevent him from playing one of his best games of the year against Miami. If Benford was available that would be great but I'm thinking the coaches still trust Dane over him... we shall see who gets the snaps.. Quote

Yeah definitely have looked better at the best time and hope it continues. But man, I sure would love to see them with Hyde. Unfortunately they haven't had a single snap together this season with Elam, Tre, Johnson, Poyer, and Hyde all on the field yet. But if things go like we hope maybe we can get a chance to see it 1 Quote
JakeFrommStateFarm Posted January 21, 2023 Posted January 21, 2023 Great news that McKenzie is healthy. Bills will need his play making ability Sunday Quote
Dick_Cheney Posted January 21, 2023 Posted January 21, 2023 If Phillips actually needed surgery, wouldn't it make sense to uh...have him get the surgery, put him on IR already, and utilize the roster spot? I guess I won't be surprised if he's actually in that bad of shape, but it seems weird to me that they haven't yet made those moves. Maybe I missed something though. Quote
EasternOHBillsFan Posted January 21, 2023 Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) If Jordan Phillips's shoulder is shot, then he would have been on the IR weeks ago. There is ZERO indication from what we have seen with respect to Tre's injury or Hyde's injury that the Bills would keep a player active if their "shoulder is shot", so it makes absolutely no sense that the Bills mismanaged his injury, for it is inconsistent with their handling of the other injuries. WE NEED JORDAN PHILLIPS TO PLAY. This is for the damn Super Bowl, not for some Week 14 result. I would think that if he was unable to move his arm properly he'd be OUT out but it's time to heed the advice of Von Miller: "You said you’d do anything for it." Jordan Phillips WILL PLAY. Time to terrorize those three replacement offensive linemen for the Bengals. Edited January 21, 2023 by EasternOHBillsFan Quote
