"Wide receiver Antonio Bryant will start for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers today after missing the past two games with recurring knee pain.

The defense, however, will be without the services of cornerback Elbert Mack against the New Orleans Saints. Mack, who plays against three-receiver formations, has a sore ankle and will yield his nickel corner spot to Torrie Cox.

The Saints will be without versatile running back Reggie Bush and defensive tackle Sedrick Ellis, neither of whom made the trip because of knee injuries. Pierre Thomas starts at running back and Anthony Hargrove at tackle."
