| Happy Friday, and welcome to the Oct. 11 edition of the Saints Insider newsletter. We are two days away from the Saints’ home game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Here’s a look at our stories from Thursday. Running low on fumes The Saints’ running game was the best in the league the first two weeks of the season. But the running game has fizzled out since. It's a big reason the Saints are on a 3-game losing streak. Saints beat writer Luke Johnson writes about the running game and if the Saints can fix it. Escaping Milton The Bucs arrived in New Orleans early this week, evacuating from their Florida home because of Hurricane Milton. What has this week been like for them? Here's what head coach Todd Bowles and a few of his players had to say about being it. The Saints can relate.

Some good news The Saints injury report has been long the past few weeks. Here’s the latest on the players who returned to practice Thursday. That’s all for today.
