Sean Payton says Saints will be smart with Jairus Byrd

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W. Va.Jairus Byrd, the Saints’ prize 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 recover his old form after a knee injury knocked him out for the season last year, has been available for a few of the Saints’ walk-through sessions in the afternoon.

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