The New Orleans Saints added some depth to their offensive line Monday by signing free agent Chris Clark, his representatives at Allegiant Athletic Agency announced. Clark logged 818 snaps in 13 games for the Carolina Panthers last year, predominately at left tackle. The ten-year veteran also has experience on the right side, offering some versatility as a potential backup in New Orleans.
This addition comes just days after the Saints placed reserve lineman Ulrick John on injured reserve, following his injury in their first preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings. They wanted to add another prospect with NFL experience to the rotation even before starters Terron Armstead and Ryan Ramczyk missed most of training camp practice on Monday.
