NOVEMBER 08, 2009

Bucs WR Antonio Bryant is out today as his knee injury continues to linger.

Bryant was unable to practice Thursday and Friday and said he has had extensive swelling in the left knee during the past week-plus. His loss will greatly affect the options available to rookie QB Josh Freeman, who is making his first career start.

Maurice Stovall will start in Bryant's place opposite Michael Clayton. Rookie Sammie Stroughter will continue to play in the slot as usual.
