SEPTEMBER 28, 2008

Bryant, Bucs ready for kickoff

They just kicked off here at Raymond James Stadium, with kicker Matt Bryant in the lineup just one day after burying his infant son, who died Wednesday.

The Bucs and Packers are evenly matched on paper, so this should be a good one.

For the Bucs, the lineup news today would be receiver Michael Clayton's insertion into the starting lineup opposite Antonio Bryant. Elsewhere, fullback B.J. Askew and receiver Joey Galloway are out, as expected. Byron Storer starts at fullback.

The Packers are missing injured safety Atari Bigby and cornerback Al Harris, who has a lacerated spleen.

I'll be analyzing things and reporting news throughout the afternoon. You know the drill: see me in the comments section below.
