Bryant (undisclosed) will kick off to the side during Monday's practice as he remains questionable for Friday's preseason game against the Chiefs, Jason Butt of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bryant is also planned to kick during Wednesday's practice as he eases his way back from an undisclosed injury, so at that point his status for Friday's tilt should be clear. The 43-year-old isn't dealing with a long-term issue at this point, but backup kicker David Marvin could continue to see additional reps throughout training camp.

Bryant has been ruled out for the Falcons' preseason opener Friday against the Jets due to an undisclosed injury, Jason Butt of The Athletic Atlanta reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bryant didn't do any kicking in Monday's practice and is expected to receive treatment over the next few days to address the undisclosed issue. A source familiar with Bryant's situation told Butt that the kicker isn't dealing with a long-term issue, so it's expected that the 43-year-old will be ready to go when the regular season commences in September. David Marvin is slated to kick for the Falcons on Friday but isn't a serious threat to unseat a healthy Bryant for the gig.

The Falcons and Bryant agreed to a three-year extension Monday, Will McFadden of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bryant's lengthy career continues onward. After splitting the first seven years in the NFL with four different organizations, the 42-year-old just completed his ninth campaign with the Falcons, during which he's racked up at least 111 points in his seven full seasons with the squad. In 2016, in particular, Bryant notched a league-leading 158 points in the backs of a whopping 56 extra points and 37 field goals en route to an appearance in Super Bowl LI. With a commitment through the 2020 season, he'll have a chance to continue marching up the ranks of all-time leading scorers (he ranks 17th, as of the conclusion of 2017).

Bryant clarified Friday that he has no intentions of retiring just yet, saying "I'll play two-three more years in this league", Kelsey Conway of the Falcons' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bryant has now finished as a top-5 fantasy kicker in standard leagues for the second consecutive season after converting on 34 of his 39 field-goal attempts in 2017. With his contract expiring over the offseason, the Falcons have a decision to make as to whether or not they want to bring back the reliable veteran, who will turn 43 in May.

Bryant connected on a 33-yard field goal and an extra point in a 15-10 divisional round loss to the Eagles.
EDGE Analysis
Bryant was superb again this year, as the 41-year-old connected on 34-of-39 kicks, including a mesmerizing 17-of-19 from over 40 yards. He'll be 42 this offseason, and he's no longer under contract, so it's certainly possible that we've seen him kick in his final professional game. That being said, if he wants to come back, the Falcons would certainly give him a chance to earn the job and kick in what would be his 17th professional season.

Bryant connected on all four field goal attempts and both extra points in Saturday's 26-13 win over the Rams.
EDGE Analysis
The kicks weren't chip shots either, as two of his field goal attempts were longer than 50 yards. The veteran kicker may be kicking in worse conditions in the Divisional Round in Philadelphia, but he has to be considered one of the most reliable kicking options left in the playoffs.

Bryant made both his field-goal attempts (37 and 48 yards) and his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 23-13 loss to the Saints.

Bryant hit a 57-yard field goal and three extra points in Monday's 24-21 win over Tampa Bay.
EDGE Analysis
The 57-yard field goal was a thing of beauty, but Bryant uncharacteristically had a 33-yard field goal blocked late in the third quarter. He has a good match up in Week 16 in a dome against the Saints.

Bryant made field goals from 28 and 52 yards in Thursday's 20-17 win over the Saints, when he also converted both of his extra-point tries.
EDGE Analysis
Bryant's 50-yarder proved to be the game-winning kick, as it put Atlanta ahead with just under four minutes remaining. The 42-year-old has registered at least eight points in five straight games heading into Sunday's trip to Tampa Bay.

Bryant connected on three field goals in Sunday's 14-9 loss to the Vikings.
EDGE Analysis
Bryant connected from 36, 38 and 47 yards, but he missed a late attempt from 45 yards that could have made it a 14-12 game. Bryant is now 24-for-28 on the season. He has a good kicking match up in Week 14 at home against the Saints.
