Saints Placing Running Back Travis Etienne Jr. on Injured Reserve
Etienne will miss at least four games after hurting his hamstring against the Raiders, leaving Alvin Kamara, Kendre Miller and CJ Donaldson to lead the backfield.
- On Thursday, the New Orleans Saints placed running back Travis Etienne Jr. on the Reserve/Injured list, coach Kellen Moore announced, sidelining one of the team's top free-agent signings this year.
- Etienne, who signed a $52 million deal in March, aggravated his hamstring injury during the third quarter of Sunday's 35-27 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders in the Saints' home opener.
- The running back must miss at least four games, forcing the Saints to rely on veteran Alvin Kamara, Kendre Miller, and rookie CJ Donaldson to carry the ground game.
- With New Orleans hosting the Atlanta Falcons on Monday night, Kamara, Miller, and Donaldson are all expected to play in the Saints' next contest while adjusting to the injury-driven depth chart.
- Miller, a 2023 third-round draft pick, expressed readiness for his expanded role, stating, "I'm the next man up," as he seeks to prove his value in New Orleans' ground game.
