Many were asking during Saturday night's game about the whereabouts of receiver Antonio Bryant.

He happened to be on the sidelines in street clothes, missing the game after having fluid drained from his sore knee with a particularly long needle, he said.

Bryant said the fluid had been accumulating in recent weeks, resulting in frequent soreness that caused him to miss several days of training camp. With the fluid now drained, doctors told him to stay off the knee for a bit to expedite the healing process.

There's a decent chance he could play Thursday in Houston as this doesn't appear to be a long-term issue.
