Travis Etienne added to Saints' injury report with hamstring issue

New Orleans Saints running back Travis Etienne has been added to the team's injury report this week due to a hamstring issue, according to Jeff Nowak of Audacy Sports. Etienne is currently listed as limited on the report, marking his first appearance on the injury report for the season. He participated in today's practice but was limited, which does not immediately threaten his Week 3 availability.

However, his status will likely be monitored closely throughout the week. Etienne signed a four-year, $48 million deal with the Saints over the offseason, but thus far, his performance has not lived up to the contract. In just two games, he has only 17 carries for 71 yards and nine catches for 38 yards. He has not secured touches from the Saints' backfield, which is puzzling given the team's contract expectations.

Kamara and Miller, both who have already amassed nine carries each, have taken over Etienne's workload. Fans who drafted him in 2026 might be disappointed, hoping for an increase in his role or a better fantasy return.
