The Facts:
An MRI confirmed the Dallas Cowboys' fear that Phillips tore the ACL in his right knee during the Hall of Fame Game, a source with knowledge of the situation told ESPNDallas.com. Phillips, a sixth-round pick who contributed as a rookie last season, is out for the season.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Phillips, who underwent the test Monday morning, believes he injured the knee Sunday night when he landed after catching a back-shoulder throw from Jon Kitna. The Cowboys are suddenly extremely thin at tight end behind perennial Pro Bowler Jason Witten. No. 2 tight end Martellus Bennett didn't play in the preseason opener to rest an ankle injury that sidelined him for the first week of training camp. Kevin Brock, who left Sunday's with a walking boot and crutches, suffered a sprained left ankle after replacing Phillips. Undrafted rookie Scott Sicko is the only other tight end on the roster.
