Could Travis Etienne return to the backfield this week? Saints taking wait-and-see approach

New Orleans Saints running back Travis Etienne was eligible to come off injured reserve for last week's game against the Cleveland Browns, but the his hamstring wasn't quite ready. Could that change with a big division game against the Carolina Panthers on deck? "We'll see," coach Kellen Moore said. "He's progressing well. We'll gather some more information and make a decision." It is similar to what Moore said about wide receiver Jordyn Tyson a week earlier. Tyson ultimately joined the team for practice Wednesday and made his NFL debut against Cleveland. SEE MORE>>

Jeff Duncan: Tyler Shough continues to show why he was the best quarterback in the 2025 draft

Tyler Shough is keeping receipts. The New Orleans Saints second-year quarterback wants to remind teams that bypassed him in the NFL draft about the mistake they made.

Shough isn't a vengeful sort by nature, but he uses the perceived slight as motivation to fuel his performance and help his team. On Sunday, it worked yet again, as he drove the Saints to two late touchdowns to banish the Browns and snap the Saints' three-game home losing streak. SEE MORE>>

Saints vs. Browns: Week 9 Game MVP

To begin the year, the fanbase was worried that the New Orleans Saints did not have a true complement on the opposite side of Chase Young to help generate pressure on opposing quarterbacks. Well, that question has been answered, as Carl Granderson has emerged as the missing edge rusher the Saints have needed this season. Granderson has now recorded at least 1.5 sacks in four consecutive games. He was in the backfield almost the entire game, finishing with 7 tackles, 2 sacks, 2 QB hits, and 2 tackles for loss. He now has 7.5 sacks on the season and is tied for third in the league, trailing only Chase Young, who has 8, and Will Anderson Jr., who leads the NFL with 9.5. SEE MORE>>
