Kicker Kai Forbath won his competition with Connor Barth this offseason, but that apparently wasn't enough for the New Orleans Saints to keep him for Week 1.
The Saints released Forbath on Tuesday, according to an NFL Network report. The report comes on the heels of the signing of rookie kicker Wil Lutz to the active roster, not the practice squad as the team initially planned.
Now, Lutz will be the starting kicker for the Saints after spending the offseason with the Baltimore Ravens.
Forbath kicked the final 10 games of 2015 for the Saints.
