Saints' Daniel Lasco: Top backup to Mark Ingram

Lasco had two carries for five yards and one catch for four yards in Sunday's win against the Panthers.

According to the New Orleans Times-Picayune, Lasco played only five offensive snaps against the Panthers. However, Lasco was the Saints' clear No. 2 running back, as Tim Hightower played exclusively on special teams. Should Ingram miss time with injury this year, it would appear that Lasco, not Hightower, would be the biggest beneficiary, though top receiving back Travaris Cadet (27 snaps) would also likely see an increase in playing time.
