New Orleans Saints release wide receiver Brandon Coleman

NFL reporter Field Yates of ESPN first reported on Sunday that the New Orleans Saints have elected to part ways with wide receiver Brandon Coleman. The release was due to a failed physical designation, and Coleman had been on the team's Physically Unable to Perform list (PUP) all summer.

Coleman came to the Saints as an undrafted free agent from Rutgers in 2014. After missing his rookie season with injury, he had been a part of the New Orleans receiving rotation in each of the last three seasons, playing in all 48 regular season games with 14 starts.
