The New Orleans Saints spent a good portion of the week tweaking the defensive line, adding three players the team knows well to the 53-man roster.
The adjustments come days before the Saints take on the Carolina Panthers at Bank of America Stadium.
Defensive end Darryl Tapp returned just weeks after the Saints released him; defensive end Kendall Langford signed a free-agent deal; and the Saints elevated defensive tackle David Parry from the practice squad.
"I think week by week you have a goal and plan in place," coach Sean Payton said Thursday in a teleconference.
