  "account": "The New Orleans Saints are poised to return their running back Travis Etienne to the lineup in Week 10, according to The Ringer's Tom Pelissero. The Saints have decided to activate Etienne off injured reserve, giving him a chance to play in their upcoming game against the Panthers. Etienne had been sidelined due to a significant hamstring injury that he suffered in Week 3, which initially placed him on injured reserve. However, he was not ready to return in Week 9. Despite the setback, Etienne remains the best running back for the Saints, who have struggled to find reliable production from Alvin Kamara and others since his absence. The Saints, currently ranked at the bottom 10 in rushing yards per game, have relied on Etienne as their best combination of runner and pass-catcher. If healthy, Etienne is expected to resume his lead-back duties in the upcoming game.",
