NEW ORLEANS — A person familiar with the decision says running back Reggie Bush and defensive tackle Sedrick Ellis are not traveling with the New Orleans Saints for Sunday’s game against Tampa Bay.

Both players are expected to be back at practice next week, said the person, who requested anonymity because the team’s injury report had not been officially updated.

Bush and Ellis have knee injuries.

Bush missed practice this week with swelling in his left knee and had been listed Friday as questionable. Ellis, who sprained his right knee in Miami in Week 7, returned to practice this week on a limited basis but also was listed as questionable Friday.
