Valladay becomes the first casualty in a crowded running back room.

The New Orleans Saints have waived RB Xazavian Valladay, per a report by NFLN’s Mike Garafolo.

Valladay was signed by the Houston Texans in 2023 as an undrafted free agent out of Arizona State. He also spent time with the Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Jets before being signed to the Saints practice squad last November. The 26-year-old now becomes the first casualty in a crowded running back room in New Orleans which consists of Alvin Kamara, Devin Neal, Kendre Miller, Clyde Edwards-Heleire, Cam Akers, Marcus Yerns and Velus Jones Jr.
