METAIRIE, La. -- The New Orleans Saints have released wide receiver Cameron Meredith, just four days into his second training camp with the team, coach Sean Payton said Monday.
The former Chicago Bears standout was hoping to finally return from a major 2017 knee injury, but the Saints apparently didn't see enough to believe that a comeback would be possible.
It's unclear if Meredith suffered an injury setback, but he was spotted jogging off the field early on Sunday and later posted on Instagram, "It's been fun."
Payton said Meredith had been set back by the injury and it was going to be hard for him to catch up with the younger receivers who have been impressing coaches in training camp.
