TB: Bryant not a 100%, but pushes himself

Sep 28, 2009

Asked about his knee injury, which has been an issue since the preseason, WR Antonio Bryant said, "I have to push myself to get back out here on this field whether I’m beat up or not. Nobody’s 100 percent. Once you start playing this game, you’ll never go back to 100 percent. I think I was 100 percent when I was 14 years old."

Then, he pointed to his heart and said, "This right here though, this can be 100 percent."

Unlike in the opener, when Bryant took himself out of the game in the second half because of knee pain, he said he emerged in better shape today. There was no swelling, which he said is a particularly good sign.

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
