New Orleans Saints place defensive tackle Kendrick Clancy on injured reserve, replace him with DeMario Pressley
By Mike Triplett / Times-Picayune
The Saints placed veteran defensive tackle Kendrick Clancy on injured reserve Saturday with a nagging knee injury and replaced him by activating second-year pro DeMario Pressley from the practice squad.
Clancy began the year as New Orleans' starting nose tackle, but he suffered an unspecified knee injury in Week 1, then aggravated the injury when he returned to the lineup Monday night against Atlanta.
The Saints needed a healthy body at defensive tackle since starter Sedrick Ellis is also expected to miss another two or three weeks with his own knee sprain.
