Prince Amukamara and Noah Spence have given up

The New Orleans Saints held a walkthrough on Sunday after returning home from Saturday’s preseason game with the Baltimore Ravens.

One of the players sidelined on Sunday was veteran cornerback Prince Amukamara, per ESPN’s Mike Triplett. The 2011 New York Giants first-round pick was signed early in training camp following a group tryout. Amukamara put in a good effort, but it was clear towards the end of the exhibition match that he lacked the athleticism to compete with younger competitors.

Additionally, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football first reported that the Saints had given up linebacker Noah Spence. Spence converted from the defensive end to try to compete in a less crowded position, but to no avail. Like Amukamara, Spence was another veteran who didn’t have a good night against the Ravens, so now they’ll be giving other options more reps.

Underhill also reported that running back Stevie Scott III has been lifted; he did not enter the field with the offense or special team units in Baltimore. It will be addressed in Monday’s update on the waiver thread along with those other initial list cuts.

This year, teams must file weekly releases after each preseason game – starting with five roster cups before Tuesday, August 17. The next five to reach the waiver thread are due by Tuesday, August 24, and the final cut – the drop from 80 contracts to just 53 is scheduled for Tuesday, August 31.

Here are the players who have been given up so far. We will update this list as more movements are reported:
