ESPNs Ed Werder reports that Saints LB Jonathan Vilma is expected to be added to the active roster, and is expected to get about 20 to 30 snaps against the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Vilmas return could provide the Saints with a better run defense, seeing as LB David Hawthorne will miss Week 7′s game. The Saints will probably keep Vilma limited because of his lack of playing time due to suspensions, and his off-season surgeries. He can be activated by 4 p.m. ET on Saturday, due to the ongoing appeal process. Source: NFL Trade Rumors Attached Thumbnails
