MIAMI GARDENS — Miami Dolphins edge defender Jaelan Phillips had surgery on the torn Achilles he suffered in Friday’s win over the New York Jets, Phillips announced on social media Wednesday morning.

“Surgery was a success!! Day 1 of many,” Phillips posted on X. “I’m built for this.”

Coach Mike McDaniel said Wednesday he is not even thinking about a timeline at this point for his standout outside linebacker and suggested Phillips went through a more conventional procedure than the one New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers had done.

“I guess it would be more traditional,” McDaniel said. “All I know is that it went well, that we’re very happy, and it’s not about how quick a recovery can be from him, it’s about getting him back, which I’m very confident that can happen. He’s going to take that one day at a time.”

Phillips suffered the Achilles injury in the fourth quarter of Friday’s 34-13 win against the rival Jets at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. He took off at the snap on a simple pass rush and immediately collapsed to the ground, unable to get up until a cart took him away.

In the locker room following the game, Phillips was seen on two crutches and with a boot on his right foot, at that point more upbeat talking to teammates than when he was sobbing in the immediate aftermath of the injury.

McDaniel confirmed Saturday that what many expected upon watching the injury, that Phillips’ Achilles was indeed torn. On Monday, McDaniel said Phillips would decide on a surgeon within the ensuing 24 hours.

The Dolphins officially placed Phillips on injured reserve Tuesday with his season over. Miami signed veteran pass rusher and Deerfield Beach native Jason Pierre-Paul off the New Orleans Saints’ practice squad to fill the void for depth at outside linebacker.

“He’s a force on the edge,” McDaniel said. “I’m pumped for the team to have a player of his experience, of his esteem.”

Said Pierre-Paul after his first practice with his hometown team: “I’m back home. Born and raised here — not in Miami — but Broward County. … People want to see if I could still do it or not. There’s only one way to find out.”

Andrew Van Ginkel is expected to start in Phillips’ place, with Emmanuel Ogbah seeing increased playing time.

The emotional moments surrounding Phillips’ injury were captured by the cameras of HBO’s “Hard Knocks” and aired on Tuesday night’s second episode of the series tracking the team for the final stretch of the 2023 season.

Jets open Rodgers’ window

Just days after Phillips had his Achilles injury, the other notable player to suffer the same ailment on the same field, Rodgers, has been designated to return to practice.

The Jets announced Rodgers’ 21-day practice window was opened Wednesday, just 79 days after Rodgers suffered his injury in New York’s season opener against the Buffalo Bills.

Miami faces New York again, at Hard Rock Stadium, Dec. 17.

Brooks returns to practice

For the Dolphins, running back Chris Brooks has been designated to return as he was spotted at the team’s Wednesday practice. He was listed as limited on the injury report.

McDaniel has previously said Brooks, the undrafted rookie, was close to returning after he injured his knee and ankle in the Oct.15 win over the Carolina Panthers. While Brooks is still on injured reserve, a 21-day practice window for him to be activated is opened. He could provide additional depth to a running back unit that has Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson Jr. but has been without De’Von Achane for six of the past seven games and all but three snaps in that timespan with a knee injury. Brooks is now only listed as dealing with an ailing knee.

Achane was limited Wednesday with a compression sleeve over his right leg as he eyes a return after sitting out last week’s game game while entering questionable.

Brooks becomes the seventh player the Dolphins have designated to return from either IR or the non-football injury list in the 2023 season. The NFL allows teams to bring back a maximum of eight off those lists, so Miami will operate with one more such opening the rest of the way.

Injury report

McDaniel said several players would miss Wednesday’s practice when he spoke to reporters ahead of the day’s drills, noting the team is recovering from “bumps and bruises” off Friday’s win over the Jets.

This was indeed true.

Those listed as non-participants on the team’s injury report: Wide receiver Tyreek Hill (ankle), safety Jevon Holland (knees), running back Raheem Mostert (ankle/knee) and tackle Kendall Lamm (back).

Left tackle Terron Armstead, dealing with knee and quadriceps injuries, and tight end Durham Smythe (ankle) were not seen during a brief media viewing portion early in the session, but they apparently participated later, listed as limited on the injury report. Mostert was seen at practice, but his participation level did not qualify as a limited day.

Others who were limited: Outside linebacker Bradley Chubb (knee), offensive linemen Robert Hunt (hamstring), Connor Williams (illness) and Robert Jones (knee), fullback Alec Ingold (foot/ankle), wide receiver Chase Claypool (knee), defensive back Elijah Campbell (shoulder) and long snapper Blake Ferguson (ankle).

The Dolphins had a short week ahead of the Black Friday game against the Jets, but it also created two extra days of rest between playing New York and ahead of Sunday’s game at the Washington Commanders (4-8) with the weekend off.
