Miami Dolphins fans have endured season after season of Jaelan Phillips' heartache. 2023 ended with an Achilles injury, and 2024 ended with an ACL injury. Just when he was healthy and back on the field, the Dolphins traded him to the Eagles.
Watching the former Miami Hurricane play in the aqua and orange was a dream for fans; watching him get hurt felt like a bad dream. No one seemed to mind when he landed with the Eagles. It made sense. He and Eagles' DC Vic Fangio were good together. If the Dolphins needed to move on, outside of the AFC was the way to go.
