After struggling for most of this season, the Saints could get an underrated defender back in action soon
By Bob Rose - Saints News Network | SI
The New Orleans Saints may get another addition to their defensive front soon. On Tuesday, the Saints announced that they have opened the 21-day practice window for defensive lineman Tanoh Kpassagnon.
Kpassagnon, 30, has been on the Physically Unable to Perform list (PUP) all season. He's been on the PUP list since tearing his Achilles early this offseason. New Orleans has three weeks to add Kpassagnon to the active roster or he will revert to season-ending injured reserve.
A second-round selection in the 2017 NFL Draft by the Kansas City Chiefs out of Villanova, Kpassagnon was considered an athletic project with tremendous upside. In four years with the Chiefs, he had seven sacks, 18 QB hits, and 12 tackles for loss. He added three more sacks in eight postseason games, helping Kansas City to two AFC Championships and one Super Bowl title.
New Orleans added Kpassagnon as a free agent during the 2021 offseason. In his first year as a Saint, he'd have a career-best four sacks to go along with eight QB hits. He managed those totals despite playing in only eight games because of injury.
