The New Orleans Saints released running back Terrance West, a source confirmed Tuesday (Aug. 21).
NFL Network was the first to report the news.
The Saints added the veteran running back in June after the NFL announced the four-game suspension of Mark Ingram.
Jonathan Williams has emerged as the front-runner to play alongside reigning Offensive Rookie of the Year Alvin Kamara in the first quarter of the season, edging West, veteran Shane Vereen, rookie Boston Scott and Trey Edmunds.
