Scottie Phillips Placed On Injured Reserve
3 years agoThe Houston Texans placed running back Scottie Phillips (ankle) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday and claimed running back Royce Freeman off waivers from the Carolina Panthers in a corresponding move. Phillips is dealing with a high ankle sprain and will be forced to miss at least the next three games, but he should have a chance at returning later this season. In only three games in 2021, the 24-year-old has six carries for 13 yards. The Houston backfield, and offense in general, has been a wasteland for fantasy production this year outside of wide receiver Brandin Cooks. David Johnson, Phillip Lindsay and Rex Burkhead will continue to split touches in a backfield that fantasy managers should try to avoid at all costs.
