FRISCO, Texas — Already saddled with run defense issues, the Dallas Cowboys will be without defensive tackle Jordan Phillips for at least the next four games because of a right wrist injury that has landed him on injured reserve, it was announced Wednesday.
Phillips had surgery last year after suffering a dislocated right wrist against the Cowboys while playing for the Buffalo Bills . It’s unclear if he will again have surgery but it is a possibility, according to a source.
The Cowboys acquired Phillips in a training camp trade with the New York Giants . The terms of the trade were finalized when Phillips was on the Cowboys’ game-day roster for the first two games, which means the Giants will receive Dallas’ sixth-round pick in 2026 and the Cowboys will receive a seventh-round pick in 2026.
Phillips, who turns 32 on Saturday, is in his 10th season and has played for the Cowboys, Bills, Miami Dolphins and Arizona Cardinals .
The Cowboys’ run defense was obliterated in last week’s loss to the New Orleans Saints , giving up 190 yards and four touchdowns. Three of Alvin Kamara ‘s four touchdowns came on the ground.
