Overview

• The 32-year-old defensive tackle was listed on Monday’s NFL transaction wire, confirming a fourth stint in Buffalo.
• The team has not announced terms or his roster designation as the signing precedes Tuesday’s 53-man deadline.
• Buffalo will open the season without Larry Ogunjobi and Michael Hoecht, who are each suspended six games for PED violations.
• The move bolsters a tackle group featuring Ed Oliver, DaQuan Jones and rookies T.J. Sanders and Deone Walker as Week 1 at Baltimore nears on Sept. 7.
• Considered a low-cost addition for a cap-limited club, Phillips returns with scheme familiarity and a 2019 Bills peak of 9.5 sacks.
