The Saints Thursday claimed former New England Patriots linebacker Jonathan Freeny off of waivers a source confirmed to Herbie Teope of the New Orleans Times-Picayune.
The move was first reported by ESPN’s Field Yates.
The Saints made room for Freeny by cutting cornerback Sterling Moore.
Freeny’s addition come on the heels of A.J. Klein’s injury. Klein hasn’t practiced this week after injuring his groin in the Saints loss to the Atlanta Falcons.
