Saints RB Travis Etienne Eligible for Week 9 Return

New Orleans Saints running back Travis Etienne is eligible to return from his hamstring injury on schedule, though no official confirmation has been issued yet. Placed on injured reserve after missing the first game of the season in Week 3, he was required by league rules to miss at least four games total before returning. With Weeks 4 through 7 already accounted for as missed time and a bye week provided in between, Etienne meets the minimum participation threshold for his next appearance against the Cleveland Browns.
