The New Orleans Saints released wide receiver Brandon Coleman with a failed physical designation on Sunday (Aug. 5), according to a league source.

Coleman had not participated in training camp while on the active/physically unable to perform list with an undisclosed injury.

It was part of a busy day of transactions for the Saints, who also waived injured guard John Fullington, making room to sign former LSU safety Rickey Jefferson and tight end John Phillips.



Coleman signed with the Saints as an undrafted free agent out of Rutgers in 2014. He spent most of his rookie season on the practice squad but played in all 16 games the past three seasons.

His best season came in 2015, when he caught 30 passes for 454 yards and two touchdowns. In his three seasons with the Saints, Coleman accounted for 79 catches, 1,099 yards and eight touchdowns.

The Saints re-signed Coleman to a one-year deal this offseason, but also bolstered their receiver corps with the additions of Cameron Meredith in free agency and Tre'Quan Smith in the draft.
