Report: Saints waive Boston Scott, bring back Michael Ola

The New Orleans Saints are going with two running backs for now.

The team made a surprising move by waiving rookie running Boston Scott on Wednesday morning, according to a source. New Orleans brought back offensive lineman Michael Ola to replace him.

Scott, a Zachary High product, appeared set to serve as the third running back behind Alvin Kamara and Mike Gillislee. Instead, Nick Underhill repors the team wants to add their sixth round pick out of Louisiana Tech to the practice squad.
