under their rapid reports:

August 10 4:34 ET
WR Antonio Bryant will have his left knee scoped on tomorrow, and according to Bucs coach Raheem Morris, will hopefully be ready to play in the regular season opener against Dallas on Sept. 13. Bryant banged the knee up last season but did not miss any games. He aggravated the injury early last week but came back to make several nice plays later in the week.
August 10 4:38 ET
The trouble with WR Antonio Bryant's left knee is his miniscus, which has led to varying degrees of swelling through camp. "The swelling has gone away, then come back, gone away, then come back," Bucs coach Raheem Morris said. "We thought it best to just get it cleaned up and get it taken care of once and for all." Morris said that WR Brian Clark, listed No. 2 on the depth chart behind Bryant, will have an opportunity to step up until Bryant returns.


don't like to hate, here, but I wouldn't mind if ol' "towel-ey" waited until week 2 to recover....

He's not missing that game, take it to the bank.

 

[landryscorner]

Great insight.

He'll play.. his stats will be..

12 REC 178 Yards 2 TD's

Will play to prove..

Usually the story with ex team mates becoming opponents.

I doubt it!!!!

 

[TellerMorrow34]

I'm sure he'll play but those stats listed above are hardly what he's going to get done.

I wish he threw cement blocks at Parcells instead.

He couldn't get them out of his head.

 

[THEHEREAFTER]

He had a freakish one hand grab vs. the Panthers last year. This guy could have really been better. It's too bad his attitude wasn't better in Dallas. He certainly has skills.

If he had a QB to throw him the ball, Bryant has the talent to possibly put up big #s against us. Unfortunately for him, he has no QB. Passing yds should be at a minimum for TB.

Good one, dude. :laugh2:

It still pisses me off to have lost his talent. No choice in the matter but what a waste.

 

[Doomsday101]

I always expect to see other teams top players and look forward to the challenge.

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

I hope he's ready, no excuses for when Dallas stumps em'! :laugh2:

 

[elcowboi]

Well if he does play he'll be rusty I think. We'll be able to lock his side down hopefully.

 

[jobberone]

He has a good chance to light'em up, IMO. I don't see them beating us though.

Are you smoking crack?

Put Newman on him and he will be shut down. That is assuming we give Leftwich 5-6 seconds to throw.
