Byrd frustrated by injury

Jairus Byrd knows the view that has developed around him.

He’s an expensive football player who hasn’t played much football since signing with the Saints last offseason. People want to see him play. Fans are frustrated and growing more impatient each week.

Byrd feels the same way.

“I’m as frustrated as all of them,” Byrd said. “I didn’t come into this trying to get hurt. No one tries to get hurt. It’s just something that I’m dealing with. I’m frustrated, too. I’m just praying and getting healthy and going out there. Just hang in there.
