Saints' Travis Etienne: Activated from injured reserve

The New Orleans Saints activated running back Travis Etienne from injured reserve Saturday, making him eligible to return after a hamstring injury. Etienne remains questionable for Sunday’s game against the Carolina Panthers, and his status is expected to be confirmed about 90 minutes before kickoff. He has not played since straining his left hamstring in Week 3 and would join a backfield featuring Alvin Kamara and Audric Estime.
