Saints work out three free agent tight ends, pair of defensive tackles

The New Orleans Saints have brought in five free agents to work out in positions that are light on depth. With tight ends Adam Trautman and Nick Vannett both suffering injuries on Monday night against the Jacksonville Jaguars, tight end has become a positon of need. While the prognosis is positive for both tight ends, an extra body or two is needed.

Defensive tackle has been a position with plenty of question marks surrounding it heading into the season. Trey Hendrickson left in free agnecy to the Cincinatti Bengals and David Onyemata will serve a six-game suspension to start the season.
