The Miami Dolphins cruised to victory against the New York Jets on Black Friday, winning 34-13. But, it didn't come without a crushing injury on the defensive side of the ball. Pass rusher Jaelan Phillips suffered a non-contact Achilles injury in the fourth quarter, which is always a bad sign.

And now, those fears have been confirmed. Phillips did in fact suffer a torn Achilles and is out for the year, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. While no one is going to be blindsided by this news, it is nevertheless heart-wrenching for the 24-year-old, the Dolphins and their fans.

Phillips was ultimately carted off after going down and looked visibly upset. Here's a look at the injury. Brutal:

And guess what? It happened on the turf at MetLife Stadium, the same venue where Aaron Rodgers tore his Achilles in Week 1. The criticism of artificial turf surfaces continues.

It's been a whirlwind of a career for the Dolphins linebacker. While he's managed to stay healthy in the NFL since coming into the league in 2021, he dealt with numerous injury problems in college at UCLA.

Phillips had a sack and four tackles on Friday before the injury. He was in the midst of a fantastic year, registering 5.5 sacks and 29 total tackles. Needless to say, Phillips is an important piece of this Miami pass rush.

On a more positive note, the Dolphins are now 8-3 and sit atop the AFC East. With Phillips now missing the rest of the year, they will need others to step up. Miami is back in action next Sunday against the Washington Commanders.
