Interim coach Joe Vitt suggested LB Curtis Lofton would move to the strong side when Jonathan Vilma is healthy and in the lineup.

If Vilma is suspended, as expected, Lofton will move back to the middle with David Hawthorne on the weak side and Scott Shanle on the strong side. Chris Chamberlain, signed away from the Rams, could end up competing for snaps with Shanle.

Martez Wilson is expected to be ready to compete for the Saints’ starting strong-side linebacker job this season.

The No. 72 pick in last year’s draft, Wilson saw limited action as a rookie. Newcomer Chris Chamberlain will work on the weak side and a potential Jonathan Vilma suspension would keep Curtis Lofton in the middle. Wilson will compete with Will Herring and possibly Scott Shanle for starter’s snaps on the strong side. It’s the 23-year-old’s job to lose.

Saints agreed to terms with OLB Chris Chamberlain on a three-year contract.

He’s reunited with defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, under whom Chamberlain spent the last three seasons. The 26-year-old started 13-of-16 games in 2011, racking up 81 tackles, two sacks, one forced fumble, and an interception. Look for Chamberlain to compete with Scott Shanle to start at weak-side ‘backer.

The Rams have “been in contract discussions” with free agents WLB Chris Chamberlain, LG Jacob Bell, and P Donnie Jones.

The Rams are “early in talks” with Chamberlain, who was one of the team’s better run defenders as a first-year starter. The coaching staff also believes Bell showed improved blocking ability later in the season. Jones was considered for the franchise tag at one point.

Saints OLB Chris Chamberlain tore his left ACL in Friday’s preseason loss to the Jaguars, and is done for the season.

Chamberlain was in the mix to start at strong-side linebacker. The Saints will now likely turn to some combination of 2011 starter Scott Shanle and Will Herring. A four-year veteran, Chamberlain started 13 games for the Rams last season, notching 81 tackles and two sacks. Still only 26, he should be back with the Saints in 2013 with a reasonable $1.05 million base salary.

Chris Chamberlain and Scott Shanle are rotating first-team reps at strong-side linebacker in Saints OTAs.

On Tuesday, Shanle was the SAM backer in the morning, and Chamberlain ran with the starters in the afternoon practice. Chamberlain is a good bet to win out because he knows DC Steve Spagnuolo’s scheme the best, and is nearly six years younger than Shanle. Shanle’s roster spot may hang in the balance.

Saints placed OLB Chris Chamberlain (knee) on injured reserve, ending his season.

Chamberlain tore his left ACL during the second preseason game. A 13-game starter for the Rams in 2012, he was expected to help a thin Saints’ defense that got even thinner this month due to injuries. Chamberlain should be back in 2014 at his $1.05 million base salary.
