New York Giants' Dru Phillips suffered injury vs. Bills

Giants Cornerback Dru Phillips Injured Against Bills

Slot cornerback Dru Phillips left the Giants' preseason win over the Buffalo Bills early Saturday with an undisclosed injury. Head Coach Brian Daboll confirmed the news during his Sunday press conference, stating that Phillips "just couldn’t finish" and was replaced by Nic Jones.

Question Marks Surround Injury Severity

Daboll offered no details on the nature or severity of Phillips' injury, only noting that it adds to the team's growing list of injured players. The Giants are scheduled for two joint practices with the New York Jets this week before their preseason matchup at MetLife Stadium on Saturday night.

Phillips: A Key Player in the Making?

Despite his limited playing time, Phillips had been making waves during training camp. ESPN's Jordan Raanan described him as having a "really good" camp, predicting he would be a "really solid slot cornerback." The Giants are hoping that Phillips can return quickly, as their cornerback depth is already thin.

Postgame Photo Suggests Minimal Discomfort

Phillips appeared to be in good spirits after the game, participating in a postgame photo session with fellow University of Kentucky alumni Dru Walker, Ray Davis, and Wan'Dale Robinson.

The Giants are hoping for Phillips to be back in action by Week 1.
