Steelers' Roy Philon: Signs contract with Steelers

Philon (ankle) signed a contract with the Steelers on Monday.

Analysis:

Philon was in Pittsburgh for training camp last summer but was waived after sustaining an unspecified ankle injury. However, he avoided placement on injured reserve after reaching an injury settlement with the team. Given the abundance of defensive linemen still under contract with the Steelers in 2017, Philon likely won't compete for anything more than a reserve role this summer.
