Saints Offense Gets Major Boost: 3 Starters Near Return
3 Nov
Summary
- Three Saints starters are nearing a return from injured reserve this week.
- Jordyn Tyson, Kelvin Banks Jr., and Travis Etienne Jr. may practice soon.
- Banks' potential return is quicker than initially anticipated after surgery.
The New Orleans Saints are anticipating the return of key offensive players as decisions loom this week regarding three starters on injured reserve. Head coach Kellen Moore stated that wide receiver Jordyn Tyson, left tackle Kelvin Banks Jr., and running back Travis Etienne Jr. are candidates to resume practicing.
Among these, the potential quick return of Banks is notable. He sustained a high ankle sprain requiring surgery earlier in the season, with initial projections suggesting a late December return. His progress, however, has advanced more rapidly than expected, offering a significant lift to the offensive line.
The return of these players, even partially, is expected to provide a substantial boost to a Saints offense that has heavily depended on quarterback Tyler Shough, often forcing him into a high volume of pass attempts due to a lack of a consistent run game and offensive line performance. The team awaits further updates on their availability for upcoming games.
