New Orleans Saints running back CJ Donaldson and safety Justin Reid left the Week 7 game in Paris
Steelers running back Jaylen Warren has been the focal point of the offense this season, and it was no different today against the Saints in Paris. Warren made big plays both running the ball and catching passes out of the backfield as the Steelers won 16-10. On a day when both quarterbacks, Aaron Rodgers and Tyler Shough, were find but not spectacular, the difference was the running game: Warren and Rico Dowdle consistently picked up yardage against the Saints’ defense, while Saints running backs Alvin Kamara and Kendre Miller could do nothing against the Steelers’ defense. Warren finished with 18 carries for 101 yards and three catches for 36 yards. Dowdle added nine carries for 41 yards and six catches for 45 yards. Kamara had six carries for five yards and Miller had eight carries for six yards against a Steelers front that was dominant all game. Steelers linebacker Patrick Queen had a big day. Rodgers also made his presence felt running the ball, with an eight-yard run on third-and-6 just before the two-minute warning to keep the Steelers’ game-clinching drive alive. In addition to losing the game, the Saints lost safety Justin Reid left the game with a concussion, and running back CJ Donaldson left the game with a shoulder injury. Saints wide receiver Barion Brown had a big day in a losing effort, leading the team with 57 receiving yards and also having a 42-yard kickoff return and 20-yard punt return. The win improves the Steelers’ record to 5-2 and they’re in the thick of the race in the very competitive AFC North. The Saints fall to 2-5, and they’re not out of it in the NFC South
Already in France for Sunday’s game against the Steelers, the Saints did not have many changes to their Thursday injury report. Running back Alvin Kamara (back) remained limited in the day’s session, while running back CJ Donaldson (shoulder) was upgraded from limited to full. Quarterback Spencer Rattler (knee) was added to the report as a full participant. Quarterback Tyler Shough (left hand) remained a full participant. Linebacker Kaden Elliss (calf) and edge rusher Anfernee Jennings (knee) remained limited. Cornerback Koo-Aid McKinstry (head) and defensive lineman Nathan Shepherd (illness) remained full

Saints head coach Kellen Moore said earlier this week that running back Travis Etienne would miss time with a hamstring injury and Moore revealed just how much time on Thursday. Moore announced that the Saints have placed Etienne on injured reserve. That will make Monday night’s game against the Falcons the first of at least four games he will miss because of the move. Etienne leads the Saints with 30 carries and 128 rushing yards. Alvin Kamara, Kendre Miller, and CJ Donaldson are the other running backs in New Orleans. The Saints signed wide receiver Kevin Austin off of the practice squad to fill out their 53-man roster. Austin appeared in the first three games as a temporary elevation and has one catch for seven yards
