METAIRIE, La. -- New Orleans Saints defensive tackle David Parry has been suspended four games by the NFL, with the punishment apparently stemming from a February arrest when he was a member of the Indianapolis Colts.
Parry, 25, appeared in only one game this year as a backup with the Saints before landing on injured reserve with an ankle injury, and he was not expected to return this season. He can serve his entire suspension while on I.R., even if the Saints don't make the playoffs, since it officially began before Thursday night's Week 14 game.
