Former Seahawk Terrelle Pryor hospitalized after stabbing

Free agent wide receiver Terrelle Pryor, who spent time with the Seattle Seahawks back in 2014, was hospitalized and sent into emergency surgery on Saturday morning following a stabbing at his Pittsburgh apartment, according to a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Follow-up reports indicated that Pryor’s surgery was successful and his condition was upgraded to stable, with family members confirming he is expected to make a full recovery.

The Pittsburgh Police department announced later in the afternoon that Pryor was arrested and charged with simple assault, and Shalaya Briston was arrested and charged with Aggravated Assault and Criminal Attempted Homicide.

Pryor starred at Ohio State as a quarterback and ended up getting selected in the first round of the supplemental draft by the Oakland Raiders in 2011.

His career as a quarterback fizzled out however, and the Seahawks traded a seventh round pick for him in 2014. He was waived before the season began, and eventually made the transition to wide receiver where he starred for the Browns and Redskins.

He remains unsigned after hauling in 16 receptions for 252 yards and two touchdowns in 2018, split between the Bills and the Jets.
