Metairie, LA -- (Sports Network) - The undefeated New Orleans Saints will be without running back Reggie Bush as well as defensive end Sedrick Ellis for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Times-Picayune confirmed through a team spokesman Saturday that both players did not make the trip to Tampa due to lingering knee injuries.

The pair are the second in as many days to be ruled out for Sunday as both New Orleans' starting corners Jabari Greer (groin) and Tracy Porter (knee) will also be sidelined.

Wideout Lance Moore (ankle) was also ruled out earlier in the week.
