Vikings Sign Cornerback Bryce Phillips, Place Jamal Adams on Injured Reserve
EAGAN, Minn. — The Vikings on Monday announced the signing of cornerback Bryce Phillips.
Additionally, the team placed veteran Jamal Adams on Injured Reserve. Adams suffered a non-contact knee injury Saturday during Minnesota's preseason opener at the New York Giants.
An undrafted rookie out of San Diego State, Phillips initially joined Kansas City but was recently waived.
Phillips played 24 games for the Aztecs from 2024-25 and recorded 74 tackles, including five for losses, as well as two interceptions and 10 passes defended. Prior to that, Phillips spent two seasons (2022-23) at Tennessee State where he started 22 contests and posted 68 tackles with six TFLs, and 18 pass breakups. He also played a year at Santa Ana College.
The 6-foot, 195-pound corner is a native of Long Beach, California. His older brother, Clark Phillips III, was selected by Atlanta in the fourth round of the 2023 Draft.

Bryce’s college tape is strong. He only allowed 0.6 coverage yards per snap last year. He’s short (5’10) with short arms, but well-built (202) and a solid athlete (8.6 RAS, 93rd-%ile on-field athlete).
