Etienne Leg Injury
New Orleans Saints Running Back Travis Etienne Exits Game With Leg Injury
Anonymous
Saints running back Travis Etienne Jr. left Sunday’s game against the Raiders in the third quarter after favoring his leg at the end of a 16-yard run. He visited the medical tent and then went to the locker room; his return was listed as questionable, and the exact injury was not known. It was unclear whether the issue was related to a hamstring problem that had limited his practice participation during the week. Before leaving, Etienne had 13 carries for 57 yards and caught two passes for 13 yards, with Alvin Kamara next in line for backfield touches.
