Lasco suffers spinal injury

New Orleans head coach Sean Payton said “all the signs are positive” in updating the status of running back Daniel Lasco, who sustained a spine injury while tackling Brandon Tate on a kickoff return six minutes into the second quarter.

Lasco, who rushed for 1,872 yards at Cal from 2012 through ’15, was transported by ambulance to a Buffalo-area hospital. He flew back with the Saints on Sunday night, has full motion in all extremities and will undergo further evaluation Monday, the Times-Picayune reported.
