Former Jets WR Terrelle Pryor eyeing NFL comeback

Ex-Jets wide receiver Terrelle Pryor is vying for an NFL return.

Former Jets wide receiver Terrelle Pryor is looking to work his way back onto an NFL team.

Pryor spoke to TMZ this week and said he’s 100 percent healthy again after dealing with a hamstring injury last season. He also was stabbed in the neck and chest last November after a confrontation with a woman.

The 31-year-old said he’s spoken with the New England Patriots already but hasn’t been able to get a tryout due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Four other teams have been in contact with Pryor.

Pryor spent six games with the Jets in 2018 before getting released in October due to a groin injury. As a Jet, Pryor recorded 14 catches for 235 yards and two touchdowns.

Pryor was originally drafted by the Oakland Raiders in 2011 out of Ohio State. He started 10 games as a quarterback in three years with Oakland before being traded to Seattle. Pryor wasn’t on an NFL roster in 2014 and then was finally signed in 2015 by the Browns. He was in Cleveland for two years and recorded a 1,000-yard season in 2016.

Pryor moved onto the Redskins in 2017 but only played in nine games due to an ankle injury. After leaving the Jets in 2018, Pryor signed on with the Bills for two games until his release. In 2019, Pryor spent training camp with the Jaguars before getting cut.

Former Jets wide receiver Terrelle Pryor has been charged with simple assault for his role in an incident that left him hospitalized.

Saturday was a chaotic one for former Jets wide receiver Terrelle Pryor.

After sustaining stab wounds to his chest and shoulder, Pryor was charged with simple assault for his role in an incident that occurred in his apartment at 4:30 a.m. on Saturday morning. According to the Allegheny County prosecutors office and police, 24-year-old Shalaya Briston was charged with attempted homicide and aggravated assault for stabbing Pryor twice. Police said that Pryor and Briston were “mutual combatants” in the incident.

According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Pryor and Briston went out to dinner for drinks before the couple started arguing. Pryor went home, while Briston and her friends remained out. When Briston and her friends returned to Pryor’s apartment, he was there waiting for them.

Pryor allegedly knocked one of Briston’s friends to the ground before he started fighting with her. The argument spilled into Pryor’s kitchen, where he was allegedly stabbed by Briston. Briston and her friends then drove Pryor to the hospital for treatment. According to WPXI’s Amy Hudak, police recovered a semi-automatic pistol in the passenger seat of Pryor’s car. Police also reportedly recovered a Glock pistol with a flashlight from the vehicle.

Pryor underwent surgery to repair his wounds and is expected to make a full recovery.

Pryor, 30, spent part of 2018 with the Jets before being released due to injury. In six games with New York, Pryor caught 14 passes for 235 yards and two touchdowns. He has also spent time with the Buffalo Bills, Washington Redskins, Cleveland Browns and Oakland Raiders. Pryor’s best season came with the Browns in 2016 when he caught 77 passes for 1,007 yards and four touchdowns.

Pryor most recently signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars before being released in September following a hamstring injury.
