Byrd and Kennan Lewis Practiced today, could be good to go Sunday.

New Orleans Saints safety Jairus Byrd returned to practice for the first time since June 17.

Cornerback Keenan Lewis, who recently had hip surgery and was expected to be out for several weeks, also returned to practice. Lewis has not practiced since Aug. 18. 

Byrd participated in the portion of practice open to the media Wednesday. He was last seen at practice on Aug. 7 when he did some light jogging off to the side during training camp.

Brandin Cooks and Jahri Evans did not participate in the portion of practice open to the media.

Byrd tore his lateral meniscus last season and went on injured reserve for the rest of the year. He had recovered enough to take part in OTAs and minicamp in June on a limited basis, but missed the final practice of minicamp and has not practiced since.

A source said Byrd experienced swelling in his knee during the summer, which he saw a specialist about. Byrd also brought in his own doctor to consult about the knee. 

Rafael Bush was to be the starter at free safety in Byrd's absence, but went down in Week 1 with a torn pec. In the locker room on Monday, Bush was in good spirits about his rehab.

Lewis also has been a regular figure around the locker room, although he's stopped short of saying when he'd return, simply smiling and saying "I'll be all right," when asked. Delvin Breaux has started as outside cornerback in his place.

When Lewis returns, Breaux likely will be shifted back to the nickel position, where he practiced all summer.

Could have done individual drills, but did not participate in team drills

Evans is probably a vet day off like Stewie, CJ, and Big Love, but Cooks ankle is interesting news

kinda hard to read you think you could make the font a little bigger?

They actually were only with the team for stretching and jogging portions. Byrd participated in individual drills, but neither participated in team drills, which is why they are both DNPs. 

Lewis is a definite no go for this weekend, I think. Byrd may go, but I think he'll be held out until next weekend.

These guys have been out of any sort of action for over a month, no way they are ready for full go by Sunday. Not even worried one bit

Byrd hasn't seen any actual football action since week 4 of last year.

If they're just now practicing in a limited manner, I'd be surprised if they see significant playing time (if at all).

Would have a bigger impact on the second game with the Saints me thinks.
