Keep track of all the Saints personnel moves right here at the Saints News Network Roster Tracker.

Released/Waived
1. DT - Josh Black (per Nick Underhill)

2. T/G - Khalique Washington (per agent Brett Tessler)

3. RB - Abram Smith (per Aaron Wilson)

The only big surprise in the first few moves was Smith, the undrafted rookie from Baylor. He was in a close competition with Tony Jones Jr. and Dwayne Washington for the third running back spot.

In three preseason games, Smith had 24 carries for 78 yards and five receptions for 33 yards. If he clears waivers, there's a strong chance he ends up back on the Saints practice squad.

NFL teams will also begin filling out their 16-player practice squad after players clear waivers following the August 30 cut-down.

Once Kirk Merritt moved over to RB, the writing was on the wall for Smith. I was rooting for him, but he didn't show much in preseason.
