New Orleans Saints running back Daniel Lasco’s season is over due to the spinal injury he suffered against Buffalo on Sunday, but the injury does not appear to be career-threatening, Coach Sean Payton said Monday afternoon during a teleconference.
Lasco suffered the injury in kickoff coverage, after the Saints had taken a 14-3, second-quarter lead in what became a 47-10 victory over the Bills at New Era Field in Orchard Park, N.Y.
“He’s got a bulging disc and it’s a procedure they’ll do that will put him out for the year,” Payton said.
