The New Orleans Saints have signed defensive tackle Kahlil Saunders, a former member of the Miami Dolphins, ahead of their first preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on August 15. Saunders, an undrafted rookie, was waived by the Dolphins less than three weeks prior to the signing. In a significant move, the Saints also placed veteran offensive lineman Dillon Radunz on Injured Reserve, creating a gap in their offensive line just before the preseason. Radunz had recently been taking first-team snaps at right guard during training camp. The Saints will need to adjust their offensive line strategy as they prepare for upcoming preseason games against the Jaguars, Los Angeles Rams, and Dallas Cowboys.
