Giants’ Tyre Phillips is ‘ahead of schedule’ in his recovery

Tyre Phillips has had a rough go to start his NFL career.

Selected in the third round of the 2020 NFL draft by the Baltimore Ravens, Phillips never got to really show what he is capable of. He dealt with an ankle injury during his first season, then tore his ACL in his second season and was released before his third season started.

In September 2022, the New York Giants signed Phillips. He was released in August 2023, and Phillips joined the Philadelphia Eagles practice squad that same month. In October, though, the Giants came calling again. Phillips was back in blue, suiting up for the injured Evan Neal.

Phillips would start the next nine of 10 games, injuring his quadriceps muscle in Week 17. He underwent surgery in January, and now it looks as if his recovery is going better than expected.

That Phillips’ recovery is going well is great for him. He’s an unrestricted free agent this year, though, so the Giants need to decide if they will re-sign him or not.

The Giants had the worst offensive line in the NFL in 2023, so it seems like keeping a solid guard on the roster is a good idea.

But this is the Giants and who knows what the likes of Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll are thinking. The guard position is one they are actively looking to bolster, so time will tell if Phillips makes the cut.
