BEREA — Saturday, the Browns activated LB Jacob Phillips from Injured Reserve after designating him ready to return earlier this week.

Phillips was designated for return from injured reserve on Monday after spending more than three months rehabbing a torn bicep tendon that required surgery to repair the damage.
Phillips, a third-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, was placed on injured reserve on Sept. 1.
When the injury occurred, it was feared Phillips could miss all of the 2021 season, but with five games left on the schedule and the playoff race on, Phillips' return comes at a crucial time for the team.
