The Philadelphia Eagles acquired edge rusher Jaelan Phillips from the Miami Dolphins in exchange for a third-round pick in the 2026 draft, according to multiple reports Monday.

A deal for Phillips would make three defensive players added by the Eagles in the past two weeks. The Eagles had multiple third-round picks in the 2026 draft and will need to make a roster move to complete the deal, which requires an all-important physical considering Phillips has had season-ending Achilles and ACL injuries.

Eagles vice president Howie Roseman previously added cornerbacks Michael Carter (New York Jets) and Jaire Alexander (Baltimore Ravens) in separate deals, making good on his vow not to be content with where the Eagles stand at 6-2 and in first place in the NFC East.

'I'm the first one to admit we will make some mistakes,' Roseman said last month. 'But I promise you we're going to keep shooting. We're going to do our best to put together the best team that we possibly can.'

Phillips, 26, was selected 18th overall in the 2021 draft. He is playing this season on his fifth-year option and can become a free agent in March. He recorded 26 sacks in 55 games (38 starts) with the Dolphins.

Phillips has three sacks this season and played for Philadelphia defensive coordinator Vic Fangio in 2023, when he held the same position in Miami.

The Eagles are currently on a bye week and visit the Green Bay Packers next Monday.

Edge rushers for the Eagles this season have a combined 5.5 sacks in eight games.

In addition to Phillips, Brandon Graham is expected to be active for Week 10 against the Packers. Graham came out of retirement last month after Za'Darius Smith unexpectedly retired. Nolan Smith (triceps) is on injured reserve.
