Saints activate RB Etienne off IR for Panthers game
NEW ORLEANS -- The New Orleans Saints activated running back Travis Etienne Jr. off injured reserve prior to their game against the Carolina Panthers, the team announced Saturday.
Etienne has been on IR since Oct. 1, following a hamstring injury that occurred in a Week 3 game against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Etienne had been dealing with hamstring issues in the week leading up to the Raiders game. Though he rushed for a season-high 57 yards, he left the game in the third quarter after grabbing his left hamstring at the end of a 16-yard run.
Etienne said he "feels great," and said he was eager to return after practicing fully on Friday.
