The Arizona Cardinals released defensive end Darius Philon after he was arrested on a charge of aggravated assault, according to team reporter Darren Urban.
Philon is accused of pointing a gun at a woman and threatening to shoot her outside the VLive strip club in Phoenix on May 17, according to TMZ Sports.
The website further reported that police took Philon to Maricopa County Jail on Friday. The Cardinals released him Saturday.
The Cardinals were set to start Philon as a 3-4 defensive end after the 25-year-old inked a two-year, $10 million deal following four seasons with the Los Angeles Chargers.
