Saints' Backfield in Crisis Ahead of Lions | Detroit Lions News

from Detroit Lions News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

The New Orleans Saints face a brutal injury report heading into their season opener against the Detroit Lions, with star running back Alvin Kamara sidelined for at least a month after spraining his MCL. Backup Travis Etienne Jr. steps in as starter, but the backfield is thin with multiple players—including Estime, Miller, and even Devin Neal—also hurt. Wide receiver Jordyn Tyson and defensive end Cameron Jordan add to the woes with hamstring issues. Despite the setbacks, the Saints must dig deep, knowing Detroit won’t go easy on them—even if they’re missing key pieces. Kickoff: Sunday, September 13th, 1 PM ET at Ford Field.
