Cardinals Cut Darius Philon Following Arrest for Aggravated Assault

The Cardinals have cut defensive tackle Darius Philon following an arrest for aggravated assault, the team announced on Saturday.

Arizona confirmed Philon was arrested on Friday and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon for an incident in May. Coach Kliff Kingsbury told reporters before Saturday's practice that the team knew of Philon's arrest.

"We are aware of the situation and the serious allegations," said Kingsbury. "It's been reported to the league. We will allow that process from the legal perspective and the league's standpoint to move forward, and we aren't allowed to comment further at this time.
