Head coach Mike Vrabel said Monday that Phillips (hamstring) is not close to returning from injured reserve, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.
What it means:
Given Vrabel's comments, Phillips can safely be ruled out for Thursday's matchup against Dallas. The rookie fifth-round pick caught eight of 13 targets for 78 yards through his first four appearances, but he's been on IR since with a hamstring injury. It's unclear when Phillips will be able to suit up again, but the wideout is trending toward sitting out the final two games of the regular season.

Coach Mike Vrabel said Tuesday that he doesn't expect to see Philips (hamstring) at practice this week ahead of Sunday's game versus Cincinnati, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
What it means:
Although Philips is now technically eligible to return from Tennessee's injured reserve list after spending four games there, it seems he'll probably have to wait until at least Week 13 at Philadelphia to be activated. Even once he's back, the rookie fifth-rounder doesn't have a clear path to consistent playing time as long as Robert Woods and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine remain healthy.

The Titans placed Philips (hamstring) on injured reserve Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
What it means:
Philips showed up on Tennessee's injury report last Friday due to an ankle issue, which forced inactive status Week 7 against the Colts and now will keep him sidelined for at least the next four games. With Treylon Burks (toe) and Racey McMath (undisclosed) also on IR, the Titans' receiving corps is populated by Robert Woods, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Cody Hollister and newcomer Chris Conley.

Philips (hamstring) is out for Sunday's matchup against the Colts, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
What it means:
Philips picked up the hamstring injury during the Titans' week of practice and was forced to only log a limited session Friday. He'll be held out of his second game this season, as he also missed Week 3 due to a shoulder issue. Cody Hollister could see an increased role, though the Titans' pass volume will likely be too low for Hollister to see many targets.

Philips is listed as questionable Sunday against the Colts due to a hamstring injury, John Glennon of SI.com reports.
What it means:
Philips already has missed one game this season with a shoulder issue, and his status for Week 7 now is in peril after he logged a limited practice Friday due to a new health concern. If he's able to suit up this weekend, he'll be well behind the Titans' top wide receivers Robert Woods and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, even with rookie Treylon Burks (toe) on injured reserve.

Philips recorded one reception on two targets for seven yards in Sunday's 21-17 win over the Commanders.
What it means:
Philips saw a jump in his snap rate due to the absence of Treylon Burks (toe), but he was still relatively uninvolved in the offense. Since recording six catches for 66 yards in his first game as a pro, Philips has only two receptions for 12 yards across his last three matchups.
