Terrelle Pryor knows he's getting closer — little by little — to being 15. lis 2018 03:21 #1

Staying patient http://www.authenticswashingtonredskins.com/cheap-deshazor-everett-jersey , however, has been his biggest challenge.The New York Jets wide receiver is coming off offseason ankle surgery and has been gradually getting more time on the field during training camp. Pryor participated in about 10 snaps in team drills Thursday and ran eight routes.That's progress. Slowly but surely."I'm not there (yet)," Pryor said. "I talk to my teammates and I tell them all the time, it feels like I'm almost there but then I don't have that just (snaps finger) yet, and it's like, yeah, I get it and it's going to take a couple of weeks. I'll get there. I feel pretty good, though."

Pryor, who turned 29 in June, couldn't practice during organized team activities or minicamp after having arthroscopic surgery on his right ankle with a different injury from the one that shut him down with the Redskins last season.He was in a walking boot until the second day of minicamp, so just being able to run now in 11-on-11 drills is an encouraging sign."Some days, you get sore sometimes, but for the most part they have it under control — I have it under control," Pryor said. "It feels good. I've just got to continue the progression and believing."It's uncertain if Pryor, the former Ohio State quarterback who's still developing as a wide receiver will be a full go by the time the Jets play their preseason opener against Atlanta on Aug. 10.There's no need to rush things at this point, not when he played hurt for most of last season with Washington before being shut down."It's early on, just the second week into camp, fifth or sixth practice," he said. "I've just got to understand that and keep that perspective. Once I get out there and I start catching more balls and getting targets and stuff like that, I'll get my confidence. Everybody needs a confidence boost, in terms of that."So I've got to continue to do that and continue to show the quarterbacks I can get open and I think I'll keep on growing in confidence from that."Pryor signed a one-year Youth Jonathan Allen Jersey , $6 million contract with Washington last season and was expected to be a major part of the Redskins' offense after leading Cleveland in receptions, yards receiving, TD catches, yards per game and yards per catch in 2016. But he tore the deltoid ligament in his ankle in Week 1 and tried to play through the pain.He opted for season-ending surgery after nine games and just 20 catches for 240 yards and one touchdown. His lone season in Washington was a bust, and the Redskins allowed him to become a free agent.Pryor signed a one-year deal worth $4.5 million with the Jets in March, and joined a wide receiver corps that includes Jermaine Kearse, Robby Anderson and Quincy Enunwa."Obviously, he's a big guy, but he can really run and stretch the field," quarterback Josh McCown said of the 6-foot-4, 228-pound Pryor. "For him, when they made that transition the last year I was there in Cleveland and made the transition to receiver, and in every year he has gotten better and better. It's been a work in progress, but we're glad to have him and he has put a lot of work in."The Jets will travel to Richmond, Virginia, for joint practices with the Redskins from Aug. 12-14 before the teams' preseason game Aug. 16. That matchup provides a bit of a juicy matchup with Pryor going up against his former teammates.In June, Redskins linebacker Zach Brown said Washington's defense "will have it out" for Pryor, who apparently rubbed his teammates the wrong way with the way he went about things in practice."Try to one-hand something while you're with the Jets," Brown said, "you're going to catch a forearm."During minicamp, Pryor brushed off the comments. This time around, the Jets receiver was a bit more expansive — and direct."We're there to practice and get better http://www.authenticswashingtonredskins.com/cheap-dustin-hopkins-jersey ," Pryor said. "If I wanted to put my shoulder down and hit one of them and be chippy, too, I'm sure I could do that. But that's not why we're there. We're there to get better."If they take dirty shots, I'm sure we'll handle that accordingly."Pryor added that he didn't want to "individualize myself" by talking about potential beef between him and the Redskins."It's about us going there and getting better day by day," he said, "like we're trying to do here."NOTES: WR Quincy Enunwa sat out for the second straight day with what Bowles said was "sore" right hand. ... Rookie CB Parry Nickerson tweaked his right hamstring while covering Pryor in drills. It wasn't immediately known if the injury might sideline the sixth-rounder out of Tulane who has had a strong camp. ... Rookie QB Sam Darnold had his best practice since ending his contract holdout Monday. The No. 3 overall pick threw two touchdown passes in goal-line drills and also ran for a score earlier in practice.Redskins Veterans Who May be Cut Every year fans of their favorite teams try to predict the 53 man roster. Redskins fans, it seems, have been doing this since the end of the 2018 NFL Draft. Unlike some seasons in the past where the roster seems pretty cut and dry, there are a few areas where unexpected change could be in the cards.Below is a list of some veterans who the Skins may decide to part ways with in a few weeks. Some may surprise you, while others may not. Rob Kelley - The third year running back from Tulane is certainly on the roster bubble. Even though the first “unofficial” depth chart lists him as the starter, that’s pretty much written in washable sidewalk chalk. There is some though he could be offered up in a trade, but I doubt his market would be very high. He’s rushed for a pedestrian 898 yards (3.9 YPC) and nine touchdowns, and caught 16 total passes for 100 yards and a touchdown in his first two years.Brain Quick - By all accounts, Quick is having himself a very good training camp, and he offers the Redskins a veteran presence within the wide receiver room. On the other hand, the team is likely to keep just six receivers on the 53-man roster, and Jay Gruden may choose to go with younger, higher ceiling players over the former 33rd overall pick of the 2012 draft, who has a combined 111 receptions for 1575 yards and 10 touchdowns in his disappointing six year career. T.J. Clemmings - There was a point in the 2015 draft evaluation process where some thought T.J. Clemmings would be as high as a second round pick. He ended up going to the Vikings in the fourth round, and was forced into action as a rookie (started all 16 games) when Phil Loadholt when out with an injury. He never stood out in Minnesota as the future, and his time in DC has been overshadowed by injury. This could be the last straw for the once promising offensive lineman. Stacy McGee - McGee played well for a bad defensive front last season, but offseason surgery White Paul Richardson Jersey , and him being placed on the PUP list for training camp, could seriously hurt his chances of sticking around. He would only save the team $1.5 million by cutting him, but there just may not be enough space in what is now a crowded and talented defensive line group that will likely only keep six. Ziggy Hood - Hood has been a square peg in a round hole since arriving in Washington. He has been the team’s Nose-Tackle-by-default the past two seasons, and did not preform well there. He moved to 3-4 defensive end this year, but that move may not keep the 31 year old veteran on the roster, as there is more talented youth all around him. Martrell Spaight - Spaight started six games out of necessity last season, but was just very limited in what he can offer the defense. He certainly hits hard when he arrives, but he often arrives late, and is very stiff and poor in coverage. He offers the team very little besides special teams ability, and his spot on the roster may very well be taken by rookie Shaun Dion Hamilton - a smart, instinctive, athletic Alabama product. Joshua Holsey - Holsey is entering his second year in the NFL, and definitely had some promise, but an untimely freak toe injury, described by Jay Gruden as nearly “severing” his big toe, may have sealed his fate with the team. There is a possibility that rookie Danny Johnson, who is having a tremendous camp, steals his spot for good, while the Skins try and stash fellow rookie Greg Stroman on the practice squad for future development.
