METAIRIE, La. — The New Orleans Saints have ruled out running back Khiry Robinson for Sunday’s game at Pittsburgh, meaning he’ll miss his sixth straight game with a forearm injury.

Linebacker Kyle Knox, who missed last week’s game with a hand injury, also has been listed as out on Friday’s injury report.

Those decisions come one day after the Saints ended nose tackle Brodrick Bunkley’s season by placing him on injured reserve with a right leg injury.

Veteran wide receiver Robert Meachem, who has missed the past three games with an ankle injury, has been listed as probable against the Steelers.

Centre Jonathan Goodwin was limited in Friday’s practice by a toe injury and left guard Ben Grubbs was limited by a neck injury, but both also have been listed as probable.
