New Orleans also called up receiver Cedric Tillman and tackle Easton Kilty from the practice squad for Sunday's home game against Minnesota.
Atlanta will play Sunday night without its veteran edge rusher, who has concussion and neck injuries, and lost a linebacker to injured reserve on the eve of Baltimore's visit.
The No. 8 overall pick is still working with trainers, and the earliest reported return is Week 7 in Paris, with the bye making Week 9 against Cleveland a likelier target.
