The Eagles acquired Phillips from the Dolphins on Monday in exchange for a 2026 third-round draft pick, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
After having added cornerbacks Michael Carter and Jaire Alexander in trades last week, the Eagles continue to bolster their defense by acquiring Phillips, who should help boost the team's pass rush. In nine games with Miami, the 2021 first-round pick -- who is in the final year of his contract -- recorded 25 tackles and three sacks.

Dolphins' Jaelan Phillips: Most likely Dolphin to be dealt
Rotowire
Phillips is the Dolphins' pass rusher most likely to be dealt by Tuesday's trade deadline, Jay Glazer reported on Fox NFL Sunday.

Moreover, they just fired their GM, suggesting that they wanted a new architect for their franchise in advance of the trade deadline. Opposing teams might also inquire into trading for Bradley Chubb and Matthew Judon, but Phillips is the primary target.

Dolphins' Ifeatu Melifonwu: Questionable for TNF
Rotowire
The Dolphins listed Melifonwu (hand) as questionable for Thursday's game against the Ravens, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Melifonwu was able to practice in full Wednesday, but he isn't guaranteed to play Thursday due to a hand injury he sustained during the Dolphins' 34-10 win over the Falcons on Sunday. He would be in line to start at safety alongside Minkah Fitzpatrick if Ashtyn Davis -- who is listed as doubtful due to a quad injury -- is not cleared to play. If Melifonwu and Davis are both inactive, then Elijah Campbell would likely get the starting nod at safety next to Fitzpatrick.

Dolphins' Bradley Chubb: Officially questionable for TNF
Rotowire
Chubb (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Baltimore, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Rotowire
Davis (quadriceps) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Ravens, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Davis was listed as a DNP on all three practice reports during Week 9 prep and has an uphill battle to climb in order to suit up Thursday. Ifeatu Melifonwu (thumb) is listed as questionable, but he would be in line to start at safety alongside Minkah Fitzpatrick if Davis is in fact inactive, with Elijah Campbell being the other option if Melifonwu is also ruled out.

Dolphins' Ifeatu Melifonwu: Listed as limited again
Rotowire
Melifonwu (hand) was a limited participant in Tuesday's walkthrough, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.
Melifonwu was also listed as limited on Monday's estimated practice report. He played 86 percent of defensive snaps during Miami's win over the Falcons in Week 8 before being forced off the field due to a hand injury. With Ashtyn Davis (quadriceps) still not practicing, it will be crucial for the Dolphins' secondary to have at least him or Melifonwu able to suit up and start at safety versus the Ravens on Thursday.
