The Saints activated Etienne (hamstring) from injured reserve Saturday, but he remains questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Etienne thus is poised for his first game action since Week 3, when he strained his left hamstring. His status will be confirmed about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, but assuming he's active, he'll join a backfield currently occupied by Alvin Kamara and Audric Estime.
