Jaelan Phillips experienced both a torn Achilles and a torn ACL, ending his 2023 and 2024 seasons respectively. He noted that rehab for the ACL was not as strenuous as for the Achilles. While recovering from the ACL allowed him to return to normal activities within weeks, the Achilles injury required months of immobilization. Phillips indicated that the Achilles bears more weight and strain compared to the ACL, making its rehabilitation more tedious. His current participation in training camp reflects his recovery progress.
"Definitely not as hard as the Achilles rehab. By far. With the ACL, especially with me because I didn't have a meniscus tear, you're back to normal functional life stuff after a week or two."
"Your Achilles is taking the brunt of the whole entire force of your whole entire body. ACL, as well, but from a weight-bearing standpoint, it doesn't really affect you that much. It's more about getting back in the stability."
