  • No plans of retirement just yet

    Bryant said Tuesday that he wants to continue playing in the NFL and remains confident in his abilities to perform at a high level, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports. "I want to go where I'm wanted," the 43-year-old kicker explained. "I can still hit from 57 yards. I can still make the game-winning kick."

    Analysis: Atlanta elected to let go of the ever-reliable Bryant last Wednesday, clearing up cap space for much-needed roster moves on both sides of the ball and providing Giorgio Tavecchio with an opportunity to become the Falcons' full-time place kicker. There are multiple teams who could use the services of Bryant, who connected on an extraordinary 20 of 21 field-goal tries last year. Though his ultimate destination remains up in the air, there is one team of the seven that posted a sub-80 percent…read more

  • Cut free by Atlanta

    Bryant announced Wednesday via his personal Twitter account that the Falcons informed him of his release from the roster.

    Analysis: Bryant's post came a day after he noted that he intends to continue his career. If that's the case, Bryant will likely now need to find a home outside Atlanta, where he spent the past 10 seasons. He converted 88.7 percent of his field-goal attempts in a Falcons uniform, including 20 of 21 (95.2 percent) during the 2018 campaign. The 43-year-old missed three games with a hamstring injury, and he's been bothered by his back at times the past few seasons. Even with concerns about his durability,…read more

  • No plans to retire

    Bryant said via Twitter on Tuesday that he is not retiring.

    Analysis: Bryant is coming off his most efficient season as a kicker, as he made 20 of 21 field goals in 2018. The longtime Falcon will turn 44 in May and is under contract for two more seasons in Atlanta, as the team is likely to happily welcome his return in 2019.

  • Flawless against former team

    Bryant connected on field-goal attempts of 49 and 37 yards, while converting on all four of his point-after tries during Sunday's 34-32 win against the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Like fine wine, Bryant continues to improve with age. In his 17th pro season, the 43-year-old Bryant converted on 20 of 21 field-goal tries (95.2 percent), comfortably surpassing his previous career-best field goal percentage of 93.1 among seasons in which he attempted at least 10 field goals. It's hard enough to find a serviceable option at kicker, let alone an elite one, and the Falcons would almost certainly embrace the idea of Bryant returning for an 11th year with the franchise. Whether…read more

  • Nails field goal, three PATs in win

    Bryant converted on his lone field-goal attempt of 39 yards and went 3-for-3 on extra points during Sunday's 24-10 win against the Panthers.

    Analysis: Bryant continues to build upon his ever-reliable form, knocking nine of his 10 field-goal tries through the uprights since returning from a hamstring injury Week 11 and converting on 18 of 19 field-goal attempts overall this season. If there is a black mark on Bryant's 2018 resume, it comes as a result of shaky results on point-after tries. The veteran kicker has missed multiple PATs for the first time in his past 17 seasons as a pro. In Week 17, Bryant's fantasy upside remains limited facing a…read more

  • Flawless outing against Arizona

    Bryant converted on field-goal attempts of 22 and 33 yards while going 4-for-4 on extra-point tries during Sunday's 40-14 win against the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Outside of coming up short on a 53-yard attempt last week at blustery Lambeau Field, Bryant has connected on all eight of his field-goal tries since returning from a hamstring injury in Week 11. This after going 9-for-9 through his first six appearances of 2018, though he has missed two extra points on the year -- just the second time Bryant has failed on multiple PATs since his rookie season of 2002. The fantasy upside is limited heading into a Week 16 matchup against Carolina's putrid…read more

  • Rough day at the office

    Bryant failed on one of his three extra-point tries, also coming up short on a 53-yard field-goal attempt during Sunday's 34-20 loss to Green Bay.

    Analysis: Not only did the veteran kicker miss his first field-goal attempt of the year after converting on his first 15 tries, he also failed on an extra point and a FGA within the same game for the first time since Nov. 13, 2016 (and for the third time over his past 11 years in the NFL). Kicking in blustery Lambeau Field conditions in December is less than ideal, as Bryant struggled to slice his ball through the wind both in warmups as well as during the game itself -- snapping an NFL-leading streak of…read more

  • Suiting up Week 14

    Bryant (back) is listed as active Sunday at Green Bay, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Bryant was tacked onto Friday's injury report as a limited practice participant due to a lingering back concern, placing a cloud over his Week 14 availability. In the end, though, he'll suit up for the fourth game in a row against a reeling Packers squad. It should be noted reserve kicker Giorgio Tavecchio is in street clothes, a sign that the Falcons are confident Bryant will be able to handle his usual duties.

  • Back issue crops up again

    Bryant (back) was added to the Falcons' injury report Friday and is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Packers, Jason Butt of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Bryant's back issue forced him to miss three games between Weeks 7 and 10, but he reclaimed kicking duties for the past three contests and showed no rust, converting all six of his field-goal attempts and going 5-for-5 on extra-point tries. The veteran's late addition to the injury report suggests his back may have acted up again at some point after Thursday's practice, putting him in jeopardy of his fourth absence of the season. Perhaps in recognition of the touch-and-go nature of Bryant's…read more

  • Scarcely called upon in Week 13

    Bryant converted on a field-goal try from 44 yards out and succeeded on his lone extra-point attempt during Sunday's 26-16 loss to Baltimore.

    Analysis: The beloved veteran kicker has yet to miss since returning from a groin injury in Week 11 (6-for-6 on FGA, 4-for-4 on PAT), but the volume he's seen of late has proven insufficient to providing starting fantasy value. With just two field-goal attempts over Atlanta's past two games, Bryant has registered an output of 10 combined points (standard scoring) against New Orleans and Baltimore -- teams that have each allowed 17 FGA this season (tied for third-fewest in NFL). Facing Green Bay's…read more

  • Suiting up Sunday

    Bryant is active for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

    Analysis: Contained to just one limited listing on the injury report this week, Bryant nonetheless will continue on as the Falcons placekicker with Giorgio Tavecchio on the inactive list. In his eight appearances this season, Bryant has missed just one kick (an extra point) en route to 7.6 points per game.

  • Expected to play

    Coach Dan Quinn said Bryant (back) will play Sunday against the Ravens, Jason Butt of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Bryant didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, but with Giorgio Tavecchio still on the roster as a backup kicker, Quinn probably wouldn't have been as definitive in his statement if there was any real concern about Bryant's availability. While the matchup with Baltimore isn't an ideal one, Bryant has an excellent track record kicking at home.

  • Held out again Thursday

    Bryant (back) didn't practice Thursday, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Bryant hasn't helped his cause with back-to-back absences to open Week 13 prep. As evidence, he didn't participate Thursday on his normal kicking day, as noted by D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. During his three absences this season, Bryant was ruled out on the final injury report of the week, so Friday's version will be telling for his upcoming availability. If he's unable to suit up, he'll yield kicking duties to Giorgio Tavecchio on Sunday against the Ravens.

  • Misses practice with back issue

    Bryant was held out of Wednesday's practice with a back injury, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Bryant dealt with a back injury last season without missing any time, but sat out three games earlier in 2018 while recovering from a hamstring issue. While still reliable whenever he's on the field, the 43-year-old kicker seems to be feeling the impact of his age. He gets a sub-optimal Week 13 matchup against Baltimore, but the track record suggests Bryant is a strong fantasy option any time the Falcons play in a dome. The team will probably re-sign Giorgio Tavecchio later this week if there's…read more

  • Limited opportunity against Saints

    Bryant went 2-for-2 on extra-points tries, while putting his lone field-goal attempt through the uprights from 32 yards out during Thursday's 31-17 loss to New Orleans.

    Analysis: Bryant has been just as flawless post-injury as he was prior to a three-game spell on the inactive list, knocking down all eight of his combined extra-point- and field-goal tries over Atlanta's past two games (was 9-for-9 on FGA and 16-for-17 on PATs prior to tweaking hamstring in Week 6). Atlanta's upcoming game against Baltimore isn't the most encouraging kicker matchup, with the Ravens surrendering 15 field-goal attempts all season (fifth-fewest in NFL).

  • Flawless day of kicking

    Bryant succeeded on his only extra-point attempt and put all four of his field-goal tries through the uprights during a 22-19 loss to Dallas on Sunday.

    Analysis: Fresh off a three-game absence due to a hamstring injury, the 17-year veteran appeared clutch as usual, connecting on tries from 21, 41, 45 and 53 yards out against the Cowboys. Bryant has potential to be a popular waiver-wire addition heading into a Thanksgiving night game against New Orleans, for what figures to be a high-scoring affair. The Saints haven't proven to be an especially fruitful matchup for kickers this season, however, allowing the sixth-fewest field-goal attempts, largely in…read more

  • Cleared to play Week 11

    Bryant (hamstring) will handle the kicking duties for the Falcons in Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Jason Butt of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Bryant made it through a full practice Thursday without any setbacks, allowing him to end his streak of absences at three games. He's immediately worthy of consideration in fantasy lineups, given his strong track record in terms of both kicking accuracy and distance in addition to his place on a high-scoring team. Giorgio Tavecchio filled in admirably while Bryant was sidelined and is expected to remain on the roster through the weekend in the event Bryant suffers a recurrence of the hamstring…read more

  • Full practice participant Thursday

    Bryant (hamstring) practiced in full Thursday, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Prior to the session, coach Dan Quinn said Bryant was slated to kick, per Jason Butt of The Athletic. Bryant proceeded to do so, but the Falcons may exercise caution with the 43-year-old before making a final decision on the placekicker for Sunday's game versus the Cowboys. If Bryant gets the all-clear, the Falcons may waive his fill-in (Georgio Tavecchio) to shore up other positions on the roster.

  • No practice Wednesday

    Bryant (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday, Jason Butt of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Bryant has missed three consecutive games due to a lingering hamstring issue and his absence from Wednesday's practice leaves his availability for Week 11 against the Cowboys in question. If the veteran kicker is unable to suit up Sunday, Giorgio Tavecchio -- who has yet to miss a kick in his three games with the team -- will continue to serve as Bryant's replacement.

  • Ruled out again

    Bryant (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Cleveland, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Bryant tested out his hamstring during practice Thursday, but he apparently hasn't made enough progress to kick in a game. Giorgio Tavecchio will handle the job for at least one more week, hoping to build on his flawless performance so far this season.

  • Puts in limited practice

    Bryant (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Just as coach Dan Quinn predicted a day earlier, Bryant was able to kick in some fashion after sitting out Wednesday's session entirely. It's unclear if the hamstring presented any issues for Bryant during the workout, but Quinn should provide more clarity on that front Friday. The coach hinted earlier Thursday that even if Bryant is cleared to kick Sunday against the Browns, the team may still keep Giorgio Tavecchio on the roster as an insurance option, according to Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com.

  • Doesn't practice Wednesday

    Bryant (hamstring) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Bryant has missed the Falcons' last two games while tending to a right hamstring injury, but there's some reason for optimism with regards to his Week 10 status. According to McClure, coach Dan Quinn said Bryant would attempt to kick Thursday, after which the Falcons should have a better idea about his availability for Sunday's game against the Browns. The 43-year-old has missed out on the scoring opportunities presented by the Falcons offense, which has struck for 31.7 points per contest…read more

  • Ruled out for another game

    Bryant (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Washington, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The Falcons apparently weren't encouraged by what they saw when Bryant tested out his hamstring Thursday. The team will once again rely on Giorgio Tavecchio, who doesn't hold much fantasy appeal in a matchup with a Washington defense that ranks fourth in yards allowed (322.4 per game) and fifth in points allowed (19.1) this season. Washington's opponents have attempted just seven field goals and 14 extra points in seven games.

  • Not ruled out for Week 9

    Coach Dan Quinn said Bryant (hamstring) would kick during Thursday's practice and remains a possibility to play Sunday against the Redskins, Kelsey Conway of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Quinn relayed that Bryant is "certainly close" to a return after missing the Falcons' last game Week 7 versus the Giants, with the kicker's performance during Thursday's session likely to be a major factor in his status for Sunday. Bryant will be confined to a side field during the workout, so it won't be known until after practice concludes whether his activity constituted full, limited or non-participation. If Bryant is forced to miss another contest while he works through the sore right…read more
