Bryant suffered an ankle injury in Week 4 against the 49ers and is expected to miss 'a few weeks.' He was placed on injured reserve Friday. Troy Franklin and Marvin Mims appear to be the next men up in Bryant's absence, although the team could use a 'sum of all parts' mentality to bridge his absence. Alpha wide receiver Jaylen Waddle would be the primary beneficiary.
