The New Orleans Saints added offensive line depth Tuesday by snagging former Panthers tackle John Theus off waivers. The team released veteran linebacker Gerald Hodges to make room.
Theus spent most of last year in Carolina after the Panthers claimed him off waivers from the 49ers before the start of 2017 season. Theus never saw game action for Carolina, though, and landed on injured reserve in early December.
The 6-foot-6, 303-pound lineman entered the league as a fifth-round pick by San Francisco in 2016 and played four games during his stint in the Bay Area.
