Which Saints could come back from injury after the bye week?

The two big names to watch are wide receiver Jordyn Tyson and running back Travis Etienne Jr. Tyson, the team’s rookie first-round pick, could be back on the field as soon as this Sunday against the Browns after missing the first seven games with a hamstring injury. Etienne has also been dealing with a hamstring issue and is eligible to return from injured reserve, but it’s unclear if the big free agent acquisition is going to be ready. Standout left tackle Kelvin Banks Jr. is expected to return from an early-season ankle injury in December.
