The New Orleans Saints added another defensive end, announcing Thursday that Ryder Anderson had signed with their practice squad. Listed at 6-foot-6 and 276 pounds, Anderson played college football at Ole Miss and Indiana before turning pro in 2022; he had spent his NFL career to this point with the New York Giants.

He's the second defensive end the team signed this week after releasing Niko Lalos, along with Trajan Jeffcoat, an undrafted rookie who tried out at Saints training camp earlier this year. They haven't gotten enough production out of guys at the bottom of the rotation like Isaiah Foskey and even Cameron Jordan, so it makes sense to churn the depth chart and see if someone new can show something special.

And here's an updated look at the Saints defensive ends group, ordered by snaps played:

• Carl Granderson (453 in 9 games)

• Chase Young (412 in 9 games)

• Cameron  Jordan (248 in 9 games)

• Payton Turner (147 in 8 games)

• Isaiah Foskey (33 in 5 games)

• Trajan Jeffcoat (PS)

• Ryder Anderson (PS)

• Tanoh Kpassagnon (PUP)
