Eagles lands DLs Hargrove and Landri

Published Aug. 4, 2011 1:00 a.m. ET

The Eagles agreed to one-year contracts with defensive tackles Anthony Hargrove and Derek Landri on Wednesday.

Earlier in the day, Eagles lost two defensive tackles for an indeterminate amount of time. Trevor Laws injured his hip and was carted off the field, and Mike Patterson had a seizure and was hospitalized.

Hargrove, a third-round pick of the Rams in 2004, has played in 87 regular-season games, starting 25. He was suspended twice while with the Buffalo Bills for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy, for four games in 2007 and then for the entire 2008 season.

He returned to the NFL in 2009 and had a career-high five sacks in 16 games, six starts, for the Super Bowl-champion New Orleans Saints. Hargrove played 14 games last season for the Saints.

Landri spent his first three seasons with the Jaguars, who drafted him out of Notre Dame in 2007.

He was claimed off waivers by the Panthers late in 2009 and started all 16 games for Carolina last year, the first starts of his career. He had three sacks last year and has six in 51 career games.
