After being humiliated Sunday in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome by the Carolina Panthers, Saints head coach Sean Payton said roster changes could be made -- and Payton made those changes on Tuesday.

NFL insider Ian Rapoport reported that Saints safety Kenny Vaccaro, last year’s first-round draft pick, has been benched.

Wide receiver Joe Morgan was released earlier in the day, according to Rapoport.

Vaccaro’s move is the most shocking of the two.

Vaccaro was being touted as one of the best young safeties in the league before the season started, but slumped a bit this season. A year ago he had 62 tackles. He currently has 46.

Vaccaro has also been outspoken with the media about the Saints’ lack of leadership, and that could have led to his benching.

Vaccaro was asked Monday if everyone in the Saints’ locker room has bought in to what the team is trying to do.

“You see our record. You see how we're playing. Obviously not, man. If everyone was buying in, we wouldn't have lost a game,” Vaccaro said.

The Saints haven’t officially announced any roster changes.
