Byrd (knee) may be a candidate for the regular-season PUP list, according to Mike Triplett of ESPN.com.

EDGE Analysis

Saints head coach Sean Payton has relayed optimism throughout training camp, yet Byrd still hasn't been able to practice. If he's placed on the regular-season PUP list, the three-time Pro Bowler will be ineligible for the first six games of the season, leaving Rafael Bush as the likely starter next to Kenny Vaccaro.
