New Orleans Saints safety Jairus Byrd was a notable absence from the third day of organized team activities.
Byrd, who had back surgery Thursday, and was not at practice, the first all-team session open to the media this offseason. Saints coach Sean Payton said he expected him to be back by training camp.

Sounds pretty minor.

Back Surgery is never minor.

Back Surgery is never minor.
Well they're calling it minor and he's not going to miss any games, so it's not exactly significant. They said if it were the regular season right now, he wouldn't even have had the procedure done.

He would if he were still a Bill

[THRILLHO]

Well. Good thing we didn't sign one of our best players. Dodged a bullet there!

[tatersalad]

hope it works out for him always a classy guy,,, wish we still had him

Trying convincing Jerry Jones and Tony Romo of that.

I think he just doesnt want to go to OTA's. Kind of like camp and the foot issue last year.

Who gives a big fat S***.

He found some other pockets to pay for his so-called injuries.

The reason he would not have the surgery done during the season is because if he did, he would MISS GAMES.

The spine is filled with nerves that go from the brain to other parts of the body.

NO back surgery is minor.

We will see how minor Romo's surgery was after he takes a couple hard hits & is planted on his back.

The point is he's only going to miss some OTA's. So it's not exactly significant news. Maybe back surgery isn't minor, but the injury itself is minor if it's something he could play with. That's what I was referring to originally.

Well, IMO the point is a BAD BACK is cause for concern for any NFL player.

Especially a DB or QB.


Only time will tell if their bad backs affect the play of Byrd or Romo.


It remains to be seen just how much this surgery helps Byrd or Romo.

I know a number of people that have had back surgery. It helps some people, others it does not help at all.

Some people regret having had surgery afterwards.

The back is difficult to diagnose which is why ambulance chasers send their clients to a chiropractor as soon as they are hired.

[Night Train]

Between our tag payment and his new contract, he's had Brinks deliver a truck of cash..for someone that looks like he might play another partial season. Unreal.

Saints on the hook for at least 26 Mil on his 6 year 54 Mil deal. When does the plantars fasciitis conveniently kick in ?

This guy deserved big $$ ?? Really ?

Money well saved.

Disc problem.

New Orleans Saints (http://www.nfl.com/teams/neworleanssaints/profile?team=NO) coach Sean Payton (http://www.nfl.com/player/seanpayton/2522905/profile) told reporters that Byrd missed practice Thursday to undergo surgery to relieve a disc issue in his back, according to The Times-Picayune (http://www.nola.com/saints/index.ssf/2014/05/new_orleans_saints_safety_jair_2.html).

[DynaPaul]

Someone else's problem now. I want Parker for the next contract negotiations at my job.

[Goobylal]

Add that to the list of reasons I'm glad they didn't re-sign him. As has been said, back surgery is never "minor" and no one knows what issues he'll have in this and/or later seasons. Furthermore, his game is based on instincts because he has marginal speed, and as he ages and slows down, instincts won't be enough.

[trapezeus]

byrd and the saints are looking to right now to win. if he needs to take a couple games off early in the season to be ready for the late season, post season push, that's the gamble they wanted to take.

[Bill Cody]

Fake Byrd quote "I should be fine but if I miss some time I hope they do well while I'm out"

[Turf]

Odd that his foot is miraculously fine.

[BertSquirtgum]

Is there a reason this ****ing news is on this Bills forum? **** Jarius Byrd.

Well. Good thing we didn't sign one of our best players. Dodged a bullet there!:rofl:
