Here we go. The New Orleans Saints announced their list of inactive players for Sunday's game with the Carolina Panthers, but the big news is who won't be sidelined: running back Travis Etienne Jr., one of their big gets in free agency. The Louisiana native is making h is return to the lineup after missing five games with a hamstring injury. With rookie first-round pick Jordyn Tyson making his debut last week, you'd hope the New Orleans offense is about to get a shot in the arm against a division rival.
Three players won't be available due to injuries, including two starters on the offensive line: center Erik McCoy (biceps) and right tackle Taliese Fuaga (knee). Starting right guard Cesar Ruiz is moving to center, his college position, with rookie
fourth-round pick Jeremiah Wright taking his place. Asim Richards will start at right tackle after filling in for Kelvin Banks Jr. on the left side for more than a month.
Here's the full list:
- RB CJ Donaldson (injury)
- OL Erik McCoy (injury)
- OL Taliese Fuaga (injury)
- LB Jaylan Ford
- S Mike Reid
- QB Zach Wilson (emergency QB3)
And the Panthers inactives:
- CB Will Lee
- TE Ja'Tavion Sanders
- RB AJ Dillon
- LB Bobby Okereke
- C Sam Hecht
- DT TeRah Edwards
- QB Haynes King (emergency QB3)
