The 33-year-old Rogers, a three-time Pro Bowler, started four games for the Saints last season.

The defensive line for the defending Super Bowl champions is facing multiple injuries. Defensive end Chris Canty, who started every game last season, is still on the physically-unable-to-perform list as he recovers from offseason knee surgery.

The team also announced injury news about three other lineman Tuesday.

Defensive tackle Marvin Austin is dealing with a back issue. Fellow DT Marvin Parker needs surgery for a herniated disc and is out for the year. Defensive end Justin Trattou is out for "several weeks" because of a heel injury.
