Saints put Travis Etienne on injured reserve

New Orleans Saints running back Travis Etienne is facing a multi-week absence after head coach Kellen Moore announced his placement on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury. This roster transaction guarantees that the offensive weapon will sit out a minimum of four contests, beginning with a Monday night matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.

Etienne currently paces his club in both rushing attempts with thirty and total ground yards with 128. To occupy the vacant spot on the active roster, management promoted wide receiver Kevin Austin from the practice squad following his prior brief appearances as a temporary game-day elevation.

The remaining backfield depth chart for New Orleans includes Alvin Kamara, Kendre Miller, and CJ Donaldson.
