It’s not yet time to panic. However, the health of New Orleans Saints safety Jairus Byrd continues to be a growing concern for fans across the “Who Dat Nation.”
Since training camp kicked off almost four weeks ago, Byrd has been comfortably, or uncomfortably nestled in on the physically unable to perform list (PUP). Minicamp was a different story as he saw some limited action, but of course, no contact and no pads is not the same.
While head coach Sean Payton continues to dodge any questions regarding the health of his players, particularly Byrd, it’s assumed the Pro Bowl safety is still feeling some discomfort in the knee that was surgically repaired to fix a torn meniscus he suffered last October that left him absent for the final 12 games.
