ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Wade Phillips is cracking wise again. But his broken rib is no joke. So, he's strongly considering a move from the sideline to the coaching box when the Broncos visit Oakland on Sunday night.
Denver's defensive coordinator suffered a cracked rib last weekend when Chargers running back Melvin Gordon — shoved by Von Miller — plowed over him on the sideline, sending Phillips to the hospital.
"Not that anybody's interested, but I'm day to day, that's my status," Phillips said Thursday as he stepped up to the podium for his first public comments since the jarring hit.
