The New Orleans Saints have added three defensive linemen to the active roster, perhaps in expectation of seeing a power running game from the Carolina Panthers on Sunday at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C.
The signing of Kendall Langford, who can play tackle or end, will be finalized Thursday, Sept. 21; the team signed Darryl Tapp, who also offers the ability to play inside and out, on Wednesday; and nose tackle David Parry was elevated from the practice squad.
Langford, a 10-year veteran, played his first four seasons with Miami (he was the Dolphins’ third-round draft choice in 2008), then three seasons with the Rams, and the last two years with the Colts.
