Martavis Bryant says he took an "intentional" late hit from Indianapolis Colts safety Matthias Farley while on the ground during Saturday's preseason game.

Bryant was discussing how he bulked up in the offseason when he referenced a screen play early in the second quarter that resulted in a gang tackle. Vontae Davis brought Bryant down by his right ankle, and with his left knee down, Farley flew in for an upper-body hit.

"I feel better about my body and my ability on the field. I don't have to worry about taking so many injuries from different plays like yesterday where he tried to hurt me," Bryant said. "Just making sure my body feels good and I stay in shape."

Asked about the nature of the hit, Bryant said it was "definitely intentional."

"I was already on the ground. It is what it is," Bryant said. "My foot was already bent. ... [Farley] just came in and hit me."
