The Facts: The Saints added veteran running back Shane Vereen earlier today, so they had to make a spot for him. According to Josh Katzenstein of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, the Saints are waiving Lasco with a failed physical designation.

Diehards Line: Lasco, a former seventh-rounder in the 2016 NFL Draft, suffered a spinal injury last year while making a tackle on special teams, and finished the season on injured reserve. He was later diagnosed with a bulging disc, though it wasn’t thought to be career-threatening.
