Phillips was sent flying when running back Melvin Gordon
barreled into him after going out of bounds.
He fell backward, appearing to hit the back of his head on the
ground.
He was placed on a stretcher and immobilized before being lifted
onto a cart and driven off the field.
The Broncos said he was alert and had movement in all of his
extremities.
Linebackers coach Reggie Herring took over play-calling duties
for the defense.
