Travis Etienne (hamstring) resumes practicing
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Travis Etienne has resumed practicing after a hamstring injury and has a 21-day window to return from injured reserve; the Saints must activate or shut him down within this period.
- Audric Estime, recently claimed off waivers, served as the Saints' lead back in Etienne's absence but is expected to have limited fantasy value once Etienne returns, possibly as soon as Week 10.
- Alvin Kamara and Kendre Miller remain key contributors in the Saints' backfield amid injuries, with Kamara likely to lead the committee until Etienne's return.
- A.J. Brown (knee/ankle) and Marvin Harrison (hamstring) were limited in practice but are tentatively on track to play in Week 10, with Brown's status especially monitored due to his knee history.
- Other notable injury updates include Texans’ Woody Marks and Tank Dell limited but expected to play, Browns’ Denzel Boston doubtful due to a toe injury, and Saints’ CJ Donaldson sidelined with a shoulder injury and possibly being phased out.
