    Tracy Porter hardly seemed interested in pacing himself during his first practice since training camp began.

    The Saints' starting cornerback chased receivers with the first-team defense, fielded punts, and even put in some extra work after Sunday evening's practice making running, over-the-shoulder catches of balls shot high over his head by a machine.

    After all that, Porter said he was ahead of schedule on his recovery from offseason microfracture surgery on his left knee.

    "I was more than ready," Porter said. "It was more psychological than anything. ... Getting back out there, reacting to the receivers running routes, you're going to have that little doubt in your mind. But I went to the sideline and talked to one of the trainers and he was like, `Man, you look good. Just don't think about the knee. Go out and play.' That's what I did."
