Philon appeared in 11 games last year, notching two sacks and five TFLs. Employed by the Raiders, Philon was playing for defensive coordinator Gus Bradley, who now holds the same role for the Colts. Philon's experience in Bradley's system could land him a one-year deal in Indy.

Philon has received little interest on the free agent market as he rehabs a torn patellar tendon suffered in Week 18 with Las Vegas. He'd compete with Johnathan Hankins, Bilal Nichols, Vernon Butler, Kyle Peko, and a few others in the interior rotation if healthy. 

Philon will be a free agent after the season. He finished with two sacks and two passes defensed as a rotational lineman. The injury won't be great for his market, but he played well enough in 2021 to be in some team's plans.

Philon jumped to get in the way of a Justin Herbert throw but came down hard. He appeared to be holding his right knee before being carted. Philon had four total tackles and a TFL before exiting.
