The Bengals worked out Philon on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports. Philon underwent offseason surgery to address a knee injury that he sustained during the 2021 campaign, and his workout in Cincinnati on Tuesday implies that he's healthy and ready for NFL action once again. The 28-year-old defensive lineman collected 27 tackles, two sacks, two passes defensed and two fumble recoveries across 11 games played for the Raiders last season, and he'll now work for another opportunity to log snaps on an active roster.

Philon is signing a two-year, $10 million contract with the Cardinals, Tom Pelissero of NFL.com reports.

Now with the Cardinals, Philon will likely slot in as a starter alongside fellow defensive end Robert Nkemdiche and nose tackle Corey Peters.
