The Ringer’s Tom Pelissero reports the Saints plan to activate Travis Etienne (hamstring) from injured reserve ahead of Week 10’s game against the Panthers.

Etienne practiced in full this week and now Pelissero reports he’s in line to return against the Panthers in Week 10. The 27-year-old running back deserves FLEX consideration in a plus matchup against Carolina, though he could be on a snap count in his first game in over a month.
