Travis Etienne resumes Saints practice with limited participation
The Saints have 21 days to activate the running back from injured reserve, while Cesar Ruiz will fill in for Erik McCoy at center.
Travis Etienne was limited as he resumed practicing with the Saints following a hamstring injury that put him on injured reserve in Week 3. The team has 21 days to restore the running back to its active roster.
Head coach Kellen Moore said a return to game action was possible but would depend on how the week progressed, according to Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football. Etienne’s totals stand at 28 rushing yards and 51 receiving yards, without a touchdown.
The Saints also had three players miss practice: center Erik McCoy because of a biceps injury, running back Alvin Kamara with a rest/back designation and running back C.J. Donaldson because of a shoulder injury. Moore said Cesar Ruiz would replace McCoy at center, while Jeremiah Wright would take over at right guard.
Limited participants also included offensive tackle Kevin Banks with an ankle injury, cornerback Martin Emerson with a shin injury and tight end Noah Fant with a back injury. Offensive guard David Edwards and defensive tackle Christian Miller were limited because of knee injuries.
