Ingram rushed for 172 yards with a touchdown on 24 carries and caught one pass on two targets for three yards in Sunday's 44-23 win over the Packers.

Analysis: With Pierre Thomas (shoulder) and Khiry Robinson (forearm) sidelined, Ingram got 24 of the 25 carries that went to a non-fullback running back. Travaris Cadet caught four passes for 40 yards, while handling most of the work on passing downs, but Ingram dominated the carries all night, topping things off with nine totes for 64 yards and a touchdown (from 21 yards out) in the final quarter. He didn't have any runs longer than 28 yards, yet still piled up an impressive 7.2 yards per carry, picking up a number of first downs along the way. After making the best of a favorable matchup, Ingram may get another chance to dominate the carries, as the Saints have just three days off before facing the Panthers in Carolina on Thursday. Thomas is expected to miss at least one more game, while Robinson's potential availability is a bit more uncertain.

The banged-up backfield of the New Orleans Saints will be without both Pierre Thomas and Khiry Robinson for Sunday's critical battle with the Green Bay Packers. The team on Friday announced that Thomas will be sidelined by rib and shoulder injuries while Robinson's tweaked forearm will keep him from suiting up.

Analysis: The two runners have combined for 303 snaps from scrimmage and 463 of the team's 738 yards on the ground. In their absence, Mark Ingram and Travaris Cadet will carry the load.

Ingram is expected to see a heavy workload Sunday night, as both Pierre Thomas (shoulder) and Khiry Robinson (forearm) are expected to miss the Week 8 contest against the Packers, reports the New Orleans Times-Picayune.

Analysis: While Ingram was unlikely to benefit much from Thomas' absence, as it was expected that Travaris Cadet would inherit Thomas' pass-catching duties, the absence of Robinson is another story. Edwin Baker is on the practice squad and could be activated if the Saints choose to make a roster move before the game, but at this point it appears that Ingram will see the vast majority of the carries out of the Saints' backfield - with Cadet the primary receiver - against Green Bay's 31st-ranked rush defense.

Ingram suffered a shoulder injury and was taken to the locker room in the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Lions, according to NOLA.com.

Analysis: Thomas finished with six carries for 13 rushing yards and four catches on four targets for 17 receiving yards before suffering the injury.
