Watkins, 30, played in one game this season for Washington. He has 139 career tackles including 17 tackles for loss, six sacks and one interception which he returned for a touchdown in parts of eight seasons playing for the Houston Texans (2017-20), Cowboys (2021-22), Cardinals (2023) and Washington (2024).

His best season was in 2021 with Dallas, when he played in 15 games (14 starts) and set career highs with 32 tackles, five tackles for loss and one interception along with one sack.

Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Jordan Phillips will go on injured reserve following wrist surgery, coach Sean McDermott confirmed Thursday.

McDermott also said starting safety Micah Hyde (neck) is not expected to play Saturday night when the Bills (8-6) visit the Los Angeles Chargers (5-9).

A trip to IR means the end of the regular season for Phillips, who started nine of his 14 games this season and registered 15 tackles and 2.5 sacks. He injured his wrist in last Sunday’s victory against the Dallas Cowboys and had surgery after the game.

Phillips, 31, has played in 120 games (62 starts), recording 24 sacks and 36 tackles for loss with the Miami Dolphins (2015-18), Bills (2018-19, 2022-23) and Arizona Cardinals (2020-21).

Hyde, 32, is still recovering from a neck stinger sustained in a Week 14 win at Kansas City and was listed as a limited participant for practices on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Hyde has recorded 49 tackles and two interceptions in 12 starts this season, his seventh with Buffalo. He has posted 639 tackles, five sacks and 24 picks in 156 games (126 starts) with the Green Bay Packers (2013-16) and Bills.

Cardinals put DT Jordan Phillips on IR

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Arizona Cardinals put defensive tackle Jordan Phillips on injured reserve and activated offensive lineman Justin Pugh from the reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday.

The team also activated cornerback Robert Alford from the COVID list.

Phillips is suffering from an undisclosed injury and will miss at least the first three games of the season. The team activated Phillips off the reserve/COVID-19 list earlier this week.

Phillips appeared in just nine games last season after signing a three-year, $30 million deal with the team in free agency in March 2020. He received $18.5 million in guaranteed money. He had two different IR stints with a hamstring injury.

Pugh is slated to be the starting left guard for the Cardinals.

Cardinals place K Gonzalez, DE Phillips on IR

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Arizona Cardinals placed kicker Zane Gonzalez and defensive tackle Jordan Phillips on injured reserve Saturday, ending the season for both players.

Gonzalez had been dealing with a back injury that already had him out for Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles after missing last week’s 26-7 victory over the New York Giants. Mike Nugent is expected to handle the Cardinals’ kicking duties over the final three games.

Phillips was placed on IR for the second time this season because of a hamstring injury. He had 11 tackles over nine games. Linebacker Terrance Smith was activated after he was signed to the practice squad in November.

Also added to the active roster was tight end Darrell Daniels, who has six catches for 83 yards and a touchdown this season. He was on IR the past four weeks with an ankle issue.

Running back D.J. Foster also will be active on Sunday after he was signed to the active roster. He had been elevated from the practice squad seven times this season but saw action on just five snaps.
