Jaelan Phillips Undergoes Surgery

The loss of Jaelan Phillips will be felt, but the good news is that Phillips “Tweeted” out that the Achilles surgery went well. He is expected to return in the 2024 season. McDaniel advised during his press conference that the procedure that Phillips underwent is more of the traditional procedure as opposed to that of what Aaron Rodgers had performed on him.

Terron Armstead

OT Terron Armstead exited the Black Friday game against the New York Jets with a quad injury. His status for Sunday remains in doubt according to McDaniel. Armstead had posted on social media that he had played sloppy against the Jets and needed to play better this weekend.

Armstead’s primary backup, Kendall Lamm, is also dealing with an injury (back). The coach sounded more positive on Lamm being able to play this Sunday. It would appear that Kion Smith would be the next man up to start at left tackle this week if Armstead and Lamm can’t play.
