Bryant did not attempt a field goal, but connected on all three of his point-after tries during Sunday's 43-37 overtime loss to New Orleans.

EDGE Analysis

Fantasy owners invested in Falcons skill-position players are thrilled with the team's red-zone resurgence on Sunday, but those with stock in Bryant are underwhelmed with the veteran kicker's production through Week 3. Bryant has yet to break eight points (standard scoring) in any of Atlanta's games this year, and his three-point outing against the Saints marks his lowest output since Week 7 of the 2017 season. He hasn't missed a field-goal try yet this year but the volume just hasn't been there, as Bryant has only three attempts to his credit on the young season.

Bryant was two-for-two on field-goal attempts in Thursday's 18-12 loss to Philadelphia, but missed on an important fourth-quarter PAT.

EDGE Analysis

The 18-year veteran got on the board early in Atlanta's season opener, putting a 21-yard attempt through the uprights on the Falcons' second drive of the night. Later in the half, it appeared that a Jordan Hicks sack of Matt Ryan may have pushed the offense out of field-goal range, but out trotted Bryant for a 52-yard kick. The ageless wonder placed the attempt right down the middle to provide Atlanta with a 6-3 lead late in the second quarter. In the fourth-quarter, however, Bryant banged an extra-point try off the right upright, keeping the Falcons' lead at two points for the time being in what would an eventual 18-12 loss.

Bryant won't kick in Thursday's preseason game against the Dolphins, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 43-year-old battled an undisclosed injury through the first two preseason games, so the Falcons see no need to push him further. The team signed Giorgio Tavecchio on Monday, so there was speculation about Bryant's job security despite a proven track record. Tavecchio will serve as a place holder for the preseason finale and likely be released afterwards.

Bryant converted on field-goal tries of 33 and 47 yards during Atlanta's 17-6 loss to the Jaguars on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

In his first preseason action of the year, Bryant picked up where he left off in 2017. With his two successful field goals from Saturday night, the 16-year veteran has now sunk 31 of his last 33 attempts dating back to Week 8 of last season. A top-five finisher at the position during each of the past two campaigns, Bryant projects to be one of the more promising options at kicker as the beneficiary of a high-flying Falcons' offense that struggled to finish in the red zone of late.

Bryant (undisclosed) will suit up for Saturday's preseason contest in Jacksonville, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bryant missed the team's first two exhibitions due to an unknown injury, but after returning to practice Wednesday he did enough to gain clearance from team trainers. Despite receiving far fewer extra-point chances in 2017 than during his NFL-high 158-point campaign the previous season, he still posted 137 last year, which was good for eighth-most in the league.

Bryant (undisclosed) is considered to be a game-time decision for Saturday's preseason contest, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bryant reportedly kicked during Wednesday's practice suggesting there is optimism moving forward. At 43-years-old, you would be hard-pressed to squeeze anymore experience into Bryant's leg. Atlanta doesn't appear concerned with his immediate progression and likely values his availability for Week 1 ahead of any preseason reps.

Bryant (undisclosed) will return to practice Wednesday, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bryant's absence shouldn't have any implications on his status with the team given his consistent history as the team's placekicker, but it's given rookie David Martin an attempt to showcase his ability in the preseason.

Bryant (undisclosed) will not play in Thursday's preseason game against the Chiefs.

EDGE Analysis

Bryant has no reason to rush back into action, so it's not surprising he will take the week off as he continues to recover from the undisclosed issue. The veteran placekicker is nearing a return, but it's David Martin who should handle the duties against the Chiefs.

Bryant (undisclosed) will be a game-day decision for Friday's contest against Kansas City, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bryant didn't play in last week's preseason opener against the Jets due to his ailment, but he did kick a few balls in practice Wednesday. David Marvin was the kicker in Bryant's absence last week and will figure to handle the kicking duties once again if Bryant is unable to go on Friday.

Bryant (undisclosed) kicked during Wednesday's practice and will be a game time decision for Friday's preseason game against the Chiefs, Kelsey Conway of the Falcons' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's encouraging to hear that Bryant was able to kick 15 attempts during Wednesday's practice hinting that he is closing in on a return. Even if he doesn't play in Friday's preseason contest, Bryant appears to be on track to play in the team's dress rehearsal game barring any unforeseen setbacks.
