Latest News about Travis Etienne
Saints head coach Kellen Moore said the team had not yet decided whether Etienne would return from injured reserve for the Week 10 game against the Carolina Panthers. Etienne has been working out with the training staff, and his 21-day practice window has not yet opened.
The Saints placed Etienne on injured reserve after he hurt his left hamstring on a 16-yard run in Week 3 against the Las Vegas Raiders. The move ruled him out for an extended stretch and forced the team to rely on Alvin Kamara and other backs.
The New Orleans Saints signed Travis Etienne Jr. as an unrestricted free agent after he spent his first five seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The multi-year deal made him the team's lead back, and he was described as a Louisiana native joining the roster.
