Travis Etienne Jr. returns on first Saints-Panthers injury report

Here we go. Just like wide receiver Jordyn Tyson and Kevin Banks Jr. did last week, New Orleans Saints running back Travis Etienne Jr. practiced on a limited basis on the first injury report of Week 10. He'll have a chance to play on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers depending on how his leg responds throughout the week. Etienne has been on injured reserve since Week 3's loss to the Las Vegas Raiders after injuring his hamstring.

The backfield has shaken up in his absence. New Orleans waived Kendre Miller and brought back Audric Estime while Alvin Kamara (back) and CJ Donaldson (shoulder/concussion) have dealt with other injuries. Etienne signed a lucrative contract in free agency and should be the top option at running back once healthy.

As for the rest of the Week 10 injury report? The Saints listed Banks (ankle), left guard David Edwards, cornerback Martin Emerson Jr. (shin), tight end Noah Fant (back), and rookie defensive tackle Christen Miller (knee) as other limited participants, while swing tackle Asim Richards (thumb) practiced fully. Kamara was given a rest day while Donaldson and center Erik McCoy (biceps) did not participate. McCoy is expected to miss some time. We'll be looking for updates when the Saints share their next injury report on Thursday afternoon.
