The Dolphins linebacker pens a heartfelt message after suffering a season-ending injury for the second straight season

For Jaelan Phillips, it’s déjà vu all over again.

Less than a year after a torn Achilles tendon knocked him out of the Miami Dolphins’ final six games, another leg injury ended Phillips’ season early.

During Miami’s 31-12 loss to the Tennessee Titans on Monday, Phillips suffered a season-ending knee injury.

In an emotional post on Instagram, Phillips said the injury would require “reconstructive surgery.”

“I believe that our lives are determined by how we deal with adversity. In these moments of uncertainty, defeat and heartache, it is natural to question one’s purpose and to wonder what the meaning of this pain is,” Phillips wrote.

“I know my goal is to inspire people to never give up, no matter how many times you get knocked down. I am a living testimony to the power of resilience and faith, and I feel strength in knowing that my God is greater than any obstacle. Through him I will persevere. There is nothing in life that you cannot overcome as long as you don’t give up.

“The mission remains the mission. I have unfinished business to attend to and I will emerge victorious from this trial. Thank you all for your continued support and love. FINS UP.”

Phillips tore his Achilles tendon on Black Friday last year against the New York Jets. It was the second injury of its kind on the field this year, joining Aaron Rodgers.

It was a tough day for Miami, which is still without quarterback Tua Tagovailoa after suffering another concussion. They drafted Tyler “Snoop” Huntley at quarterback on Monday, just a week after moving with Skylar Thompson.
