Saints' Obum Gwacham: Gwacham could start at defensive end
With Hau'oli Kikaha suffering a potentially season-ending knee injury, Obum Gwacham is a candidate to replace him as a starter at defensive end. Gwacham, who is up to 258 pounds after a 15-pound weight gain this offseason, has worked with the first-team defensive line unit since the start of OTAs in May, the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.Gwacham is a raw, developmental athlete who was drafted by the Seahawks in the sixth round out of Oregon State last year. He signed with the New Orleans Saints after being waived by the Seahawks at the end of the 2015 preseason, and appeared in nine games for New Orleans, recording eight tackles, two forced fumbles and two and a half sacks. It's possible that the Saints will sign a veteran free agent to replace Kikaha, but Gwacham is an intriguing young talent who could make some noise in IDP leagues if he is able to secure the starting defensive end job opposite Cameron Jordan.
