In five seasons, he has seen action on 1,389 special teams snaps and 269 on defense. Phillips has totaled 34 tackles.
The Chargers also signed 17 players to the practice squad, including quarterback DJ Uiagalelei. OG Karsen Barnhart, DL TeRah Edwards, CB Harrison Hand, WR JaQuae Jackson, S Tony Jefferson, LB Emany Johnson, C Josh Kaltenberger, LS Rick Lovato, RB Nyheim Miller-Hines, CB Myles Purchase, OLB Garmon Randolph, WR Jalen Reagor, T David Sharpe, G Brandon Taylor, RB Kimani Vidal and TE Thomas Yassmin (International Player Pathway) were the others who signed.
