INDIANAPOLIS – For the first time this season — and this decade — Adam Vinatieri does not know if he'll be the Indianapolis Colts placekicker on game day.

The 46-year-old kicker said Thursday he wasn't sure if his left knee would feel good enough to kick in time for Sunday's 1 p.m. kickoff against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

If he doesn't play, it will be the first game Vinatieri has lost to injury since the 2009 season (Super Bowl XLIV).
