Source: Browns’ Phillips has torn pec, out for ’23

BEREA, Ohio — Cleveland Browns reserve linebacker Jacob Phillips suffered a torn pec in Friday’s exhibition loss and will miss the season, a source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Saturday.

Phillips, a former starter who finished last season on injured reserve due to a pectoral injury, suffered the injury in the third quarter of the Browns’ 17-15 loss to the Washington Commanders.

Phillips was battling for a roster spot behind Anthony Walker and Sione Takitaki at inside linebacker.
