Saints sign defensive end/long snapper Zach Wood: source

The New Orleans Saints acted quickly Friday to find a replacement for Jon Dorenbos.

The Saints signed defensive end/long snapper Zach Wood to a contract, according to a source familiar with the situation.

Wood's agent, Mike Abadir, also took to Twitter to offer congratulations to his client:

Congrats to my client LS @ZachWood6 for signing w the Saints! At the same time, prayers go out to multi-talented @JonDorenbos. #JonDorenbos

With Dorenbos heading to the non-football illness (NFI) list because of a heart condition, Wood was among a number of long snappers the Saints hosted for workouts.
