METAIRIE, La. -- New Orleans Saints running backs Pierre Thomas and Khiry Robinson both missed practice again Thursday, leaving their status in doubt for Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers.

Thomas (shoulder) is a long shot since he hasn’t attended either practice after being knocked out of last week’s game against the Detroit Lions. Robinson (forearm) has been on the practice field in uniform but has not participated in individual drills during the portion of practice open to the media.

Obviously it’s a good thing for the Saints that they got Mark Ingram back from his own hand injury last week. Ingram would play a significant role in the Saints’ offense if the other backs are out or limited. Travaris Cadet would also likely play an increased role, especially in the Saints’ passing game, if Thomas is out.

Last week, Cadet caught six passes for 51 yards with Thomas limited. Cadet also caught six passes for 59 yards earlier this year at Dallas when the Saints spent much of the game in their no-huddle, hurry-up offense.

The Saints didn’t offer updates on any of their injuries Thursday. There were no changes from Wednesday’s injury report.

Center Jonathan Goodwin (knee) and linebacker Kyle Knox (ankle) remained out.

Tight end Jimmy Graham (shoulder), cornerback Keenan Lewis (knee/shoulder), nose tackle Brodrick Bunkley (concussion) and linebacker Ramon Humber (ankle) remained limited. Cornerback Patrick Robinson (hamstring) practiced fully.
