The news of Daniel Lasco being released came after it was announced earlier in the day that the team was bringing back offensive tackle Bryce Harris.
Official word from the Saints hasn’t come out yet but it’s being reported via Twitter by Nick Underhill of The Advocate.

The move is startling because of Lasco’s play on special teams where he’s been a consistent standout. It was strange, initially however, that the Saints had chosen to retain five running backs on the roster when they typically keep four with the addition of a fullback.
