The Arizona Cardinals have added depth at linebacker by signing veteran Philip Wheeler, the team announced Thursday.
Wheeler has played for four different organizations in his nine-year career, including the last two with the Atlanta Falcons. He appeared in all 16 games last season while totaling 27 tackles.
While he made four starts last season, he was mostly used on special teams when the Falcons defense was healthy. Per Pro Football Reference, he played eight defensive snaps in the Super Bowl loss to the New England Patriots compared to 11 on special teams.
