Saints waive running back Daniel Lasco with failed physical designation

When the New Orleans Saints and Shane Vereen agreed to a contract Wednesday (July 18), the team was expected to make a corresponding roster move.

The team made that move when it waived running back Daniel Lasco with a failed physical designation. Lasco ended last season on injured reserve for a bulging disc after a scary collision during a kick return tackle Nov. 12 against the Buffalo Bills.

The Saints picked Lasco out of Cal in the seventh round of the 2016 NFL Draft. His impact came mostly on punt and kickoff coverage units.

He has played 10 career games.
