When is Travis Etienne Jr. coming back to the Saints?

The New Orleans Saints have acquired starting running back Travis Etienne Jr. from a past offseason, but he will miss several games due to a hamstring injury. The team has placed him on injured reserve, meaning he will be out for at least four weeks. It appears the Saints don't have high expectations of being a contender just yet, so they can afford to let Etienne take his time to heal fully.

Based on the timeline, it seems likely that Etienne will return to the Saints around early November, during a home game against the Cleveland Browns on November 8th. This would give him sufficient time to regain his form and integrate back into the team's offensive strategy effectively. Etienne has a strong track record, having amassed over 1,300 yards from scrimmage three times in his career, making him a valuable asset if he plays well.
