Saints RB Reggie Bush, who is healthy enough to play but taking intermittent practices off to rest his surgically repaired left knee, did not participate.
Payton also held out wide receivers Adrian Arrington (hamstring) and Lance Moore (shoulder); tight end Dan Campbell (knee); and defensive backs Randall Gay (heel), Darren Sharper (knee) and Chip Vaughn (knee).
Payton said Vaughn, a fourth-round draft choice, has a slight meniscus tear in his left knee.
"It's not real big, but it has caused some swelling and some knee pain and we'll have to examine it further," Payton said.
