New Orleans Saints place David Parry on injured reserve

placed defensive tackle David Parry on injured reserve, according to Wednesday's NFL transaction report.

Parry, whom the Saints elevated from the practice squad to the active 53-man roster in Week 3, suffered an ankle injury in the first half of Sunday's 34-13 win over the Carolina Panthers.

The 6-foot-2, 317-pound Parry joined the Saints on Sept. 3 after being claimed off waivers by the Indianapolis Colts, where he was a two-year starter before being waived as part of the Colts' roster moves to establish the initial 53-man roster.

The corresponding move on the roster is the previously reported elevation of linebacker Ben Heeney from the practice squad to the active roster, which is now official on the NFL Transaction report.
