Roy Cummings, of The Tampa Tribune, reports Tampa Bay Buccaneers PK Matt Bryant (hamstring) will likely wait until just before kickoff Friday, Sept. 4, to determine whether he will kick for his job in the team's preseason finale. Bryant said, "It's probably going to be a last-minute thing. There's just so much at stake and so much to factor in. I wish it was all cut-and-dried, but it's not." Bryant kicked about 20 balls during a low-intensity workout Tuesday, Sept. 1, so that he wouldn't go into the game cold.

Rick Stroud, of the St. Petersburg Times, reports Tampa Bay Buccaneers PK Matt Bryant (hamstring) is on the verge of being released by the team. Head coach Raheem Morris called Bryant into his office Monday, Aug. 31, and informed him he needed to practice this week and play in the final preseason game to have any chance of remaining with the team. Bryant, however, says he needs another week for the injured hamstring on his right kicking leg to completely heal. Rather than jeopardize his career, Bryant said Monday, Aug. 31, that his release by the team might be better than rushing back.
