The New Orleans Saints continued to reshape their roster on Friday in advance of Monday's season opener against the Minnesota Vikings, and a popular young running back received some bad news.
Daniel Lasco, a seventh-round pick in 2016, was waived on Friday to make room for veteran offensive tackle Bryce Harris.
The Saints kept five tailbacks on their initial roster, and Lasco's special teams ability helped him stick around. But, with the team lacking depth at offensive tackle, Lasco became the victim of the numbers game.
Lasco will be subject to waivers on Saturday, so any team will be able to pick him up.
