WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. — Jairus Byrd, the Saints’ prized free agent a year ago, still has not taken the field for the morning session of any practice during training camp.

Byrd, who is trying to regain his old form after a season-ending knee injury last year, has been available for a few of the team’s walkthrough sessions in the afternoon.

Saints coach Sean Payton, who does not comment on injuries at this time of the season, has not revealed Byrd’s injury, and he declined a question about whether it was the same knee.

The Saints have said all along they do not expect Byrd’s ailment to be serious. The veteran safety is on the physically unable to perform list but went through OTAs and the team’s mandatory minicamp.

“I think he is progressing well,” Payton said. “I think sooner than later we are going to get a chance to see him — and at the same time, we are going to be smart.”
