Early frontrunner for the Saints backup running back position, Terrance West, has been released from the team after a preseason that saw him only feature on seven carries for 36 yards. With Jonathan Williams taking the lead after two preseason games, this likely clears up the question of just who will be backing up Alvin Kamara while Mark Ingram serves a four game suspension for violating the League’s PED policy.

Williams, the three year journeyman who’s played on three different teams in three years, has taken control of the backfield after an impressive training camp. He’s a big power back who should replicate much of the between the tackles short yardage work Ingram took responsibility for last year.

With one and two presumably locked down, the third running back slot is still up the grabs, but appears to be falling into the soft hands of former Ragin Cajun Boston Scott. The rookie scatback who was drafted in the sixth round of this year’s draft has shown good receiving skills, and speed off the edge in a roll that could become vital if Kamara were to ever go down for an extended period of time.
