The Saints waived running back Daniel Lasco.

Lasco, who was an exclusive rights free agent, spent last season on the physically unable to perform list.

Lasco, a seventh-round pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, appeared in seven games as a rookie. He finished third on the team with seven special teams stops.

He injured his spine while making a tackle on special teams after appearing in three games in 2017 and hasn’t played since. Lasco finished 2017 on injured reserve.

His injury later was diagnosed as a bulging disc, though it wasn’t considered career-threatening.
