New Orleans Saints Coach Sean Payton announced Thursday that safety Jairus Byrd has had surgery on his back and will return to the team in a week.

Payton, speaking after the team's first OTA that was open to the media, said the surgery "didn't need to be done" but that Byrd and the team both thought it best to get it cleared up now.

"If it was during the season, you wouldn't go through the procedure," Payton said. "He'll start up training camp with no problem."

We all have backs.

It's just a simple disc surgery and they probably just want to make sure he doesn't hurt himself picking up the Super Bowl trophy.

Yeah, there is no way the Saints would sign him and give him all that money if he wasn't good to go.
