Travis Etienne Placed on Injured Reserve With Hamstring Injury

Saints head coach Kellen Moore announced that running back Travis Etienne has been placed on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury aggravated against the Raiders. Etienne, who leads New Orleans with 30 carries and 128 rushing yards, will miss at least the next four games and can return no earlier than November 8 against the Browns. Alvin Kamara is expected to assume the lead role in the backfield alongside Kendre Miller and CJ Donaldson during his extended absence.
