New Orleans Saints Get Good News Before Raiders Game
Travis Etienne Jr. is available after a hamstring concern, while rookie returner Barion Brown and defensive tackle Christen Miller are ruled out.
On Sunday, September 27, 2026, the 1-1 New Orleans Saints host the 2-0 Las Vegas Raiders at Caesars Superdome in a Week 3 matchup between two surprising early-season contenders.
Both franchises have exceeded rebuilding expectations. Raiders are undefeated after wins against Miami Dolphins and Los Angeles Chargers, while Saints seek momentum following their road victory over Baltimore Ravens.
Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins has thrown three touchdowns in each of his first two games, while New Orleans quarterback Tyler Shough leads the NFL with 662 passing yards through two weeks.
Bookmakers list Saints as 3-point favorites; return specialist Barion Brown and defensive lineman Christen Miller are ruled out for New Orleans, while Raiders safety Treydan Stukes remains questionable.
A victory positions Raiders closer to their first playoff appearance in five years, while a Saints win could propel New Orleans toward becoming odds-on favorite for the NFC South title.
