ST. PETERSBURG, Florida (Ticker) -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker
Matt Bryant, whose infant son died earlier this week, will
likely play on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers. Bryant is officially listed as questionable, but The St.
Petersburg Times reported on its web site Saturday that the
33-year-old veteran is expected to play. Bryant's wife, Melissa, found their 3-month-old son, Matthew
Tryson Bryant, unresponsive on Wednesday morning. "Melissa and I are overcome with the amount of support we have
received from the community during this difficult time," Matt
Bryant noted in a statement earlier this week. "Tryson enriched
our lives for the short time that he was with us and we will
never forget his smile. We know Tryson's death has deeply
touched the community and we appreciate the love and prayers
from our Buccaneers fans." It is unclear who will kick for the Buccaneers if Bryant opts
not to play, as he is the only place kicker on the current
roster.
