New Orleans Saints will have a new interior defender available for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers.
The team on Wednesday promoted defensive tackle David Parry from the practice squad to fill the place of defensive tackle Mitchell Loewen, who went on injured reserve due to a high ankle sprain suffered during last Sunday's loss to the New England Patriots.
Parry, 25, joined the Saints' practice squad this year after being waived by the Indianapolis Colts in September. A fifth-round pick in 2015, Parry started every game for the Colts the past two seasons, totaling 78 tackles and four sacks.
