The Cardinals worked out Attaochu (pectoral) on Wednesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Attaochu ended the 2021 campaign on IR with a pectoral injury and was released by the Bears this offseason. However, now healthy, the 2014 second-round pick is looking to work his way back onto an NFL roster. The veteran linebacker is only one year removed from totaling 52 tackles and 8.5 sacks in 25 appearances across two seasons with Denver.

Jeremiah Attaochu: Cut by Chicago
Rotowire
Attachou (pectoral) was released by the Bears on Monday, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
Attaochu presumably was let go to help make room for free-agent nose tackle Mike Pennel, whom the team signed in a corresponding move Monday. The 29-year-old linebacker played 124 defensive snaps over five games before a torn pectoral that forced him to finish last season on the Bears' injured reserve list. Attaochu signed a two-year, $5.5 million contract with Chicago ahead of the 2021 campaign, but he ultimately was a long shot to make the team's final 53-man roster this time around while coming off such a severe season-ending injury.
