Is Bryant all right?
Noticed the Bucs were working out a pair of unidentified kickers this morning, which could mean nothing or could be an indication that kicker Matt Bryant is hurt after all.
Bryant lost his footing on the turf while attempting a field goal against the Rams and was wincing in pain throughout the afternoon. He acknowledged some discomfort this week without going into specifics about his condition.
He hasn't been listed on the injury report this week because he hasn't missed practice. That's pretty much the criteria for being listed as injured.
So, at this point, it's not clear whether the team is concerned about Bryant's availability this weekend. It could just be that the Bucs are merely taking a look at a couple guys on the market as they are known to do quite frequently.
We'll keep an eye on things for you.

You know, there's something about his kicking motion, specifically his plant foot, that I found odd. I mean, after watching him last week, he follows through with the kick, and rolls his plant foot onto its side and on his ankle after the ball is away. It looks fluid enough but I can imagine that hurts like hell.

Did you ask anyone from the team?
