SAINT-DENIS, France (AP) — Saints starting right guard Cesar Ruiz won't play Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers because of a knee injury.
Ruiz was injured last week against the New York Giants and was replaced by rookie Jeremiah Wright.
Also inactive for New Orleans at Stade de France: QB Zach Wilson (3rd quarterback), S Mike Reid, TE Treyton Welch, DL Nathan Shepherd, DL John Ridgeway III and EDGE Tyree Wilson.
For Pittsburgh, safety DeShon Elliott was set to make his season debut after returning from a long-term knee injury. He was active for Sunday's game one year after a season-ending knee injury in Week 8 against Green Bay.
The veteran safety, a full participant in practice this week, was activated from injured reserve Saturday.
The Steelers had earlier ruled out DB Brandin Echols (hamstring) and WR Ben Skowronek (calf).
Pittsburgh's other inactives: QB Drew Allar, QB Will Howard (3rd quarterback), RB Eli Heidenreich and CB Terell Smith.
