The Jaguars released Pryor on Saturday, Mike Kaye of FirstCoastNews.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pryor was traded to the Browns from the Jets in June, but was released prior to the season commencing after a reported altercation with teammates. He subsequently landed on the Jaguars, but was placed on injured reserve in September. He had logged just 28 special teams snaps in two games since returning. The former first-round pick will now look for a new opportunity.

Pryor (ankle) was activated off the Jaguars' injured reserve Saturday, Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Jaguars had until Wednesday to activate prior, but it looks like he will be ready to contribute for their Week 11 contest against the Browns. Prior, who was acquired from the Jets off waivers prior to Week 1, will be another weapon for an already stacked Jaguars defense.

Head coach Doug Marrone believes Pryor (ankle) will be activated from injured reserve Saturday or Sunday, Mike Kaye of WTLV reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Jaguars have until Wednesday, Nov. 22 to activate Pryor, or else he will be placed on season-ending injured reserve. Jacksonville has earned the title of the top-ranked defense through 10 weeks, so it's unclear how the Jags would deal with Pryor's return. The team is taking its time, and their next game is against the Browns on Sunday.

Pryor (ankle) was placed on injured reserve by the Jaguars on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Pryor joined the Jaguars only 10 days ago and was inactive for Weeks 1 and 2. It's unknown when exactly he injured his ankle so the recovery timetable has always been murky, but the 25-year-old will now need to reach an injury settlement with the team if he wants to play again this season, unless the Jaguars are willing to use one of their IR-return designations on him, which is unlikely.

Pryor (ankle) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Titans.
EDGE Analysis
The 2014 first-round pick wasn't slated for much more than a special teams role Sunday. Pryor will likely have opportunities to climb the depth chart when he's healthy. Still, it's unclear when this injury was sustained, so the timeline for his return is tough to project.

Pryor was claimed off waivers by the Jaguars on Friday, Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pryor didn't even make it to the regular season in Cleveland, but now he has another opportunity in Jacksonville. The 25-year-old will likely be a depth piece in the secondary to start, but with Tashaun Gipson (ankle) questionable for Sunday's game against Houston, he could have an opportunity to earn a larger role.

The Browns released Pryor on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
After wearing out his welcome with the Jets following a rough first three seasons in the league, Pryor, a 2014 first-round pick, was dealt to the Browns in June, with Cleveland hoping that a change an environment would help the safety tap into his potential. Though Pryor was set to open the upcoming season in a reserve role, the Browns handed him his walking papers after he got into a fight with a teammate prior to Thursday's practice, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. The Browns will likely promote Kai Nacua from the practice squad to take Pryor's spot on the 53-man roster and provide the team with additional depth in the defensive backfield.

Pryor was traded to the Browns in exchange for linebacker Demario Davis on Thursday, Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pryor, who was a 2014 first-round selection, averaged 64 tackles per season throughout his first three years in the league with the Jets. This offseason, however, he had fallen down the pecking order at safety as he began working with the third-team defense in OTAs. The Browns like his experience and upside, but expect him to work hard in order to earn a spot in the secondary.

The Jets informed Pryor on Tuesday that his fifth-year option won't be exercised, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pryor remains under contract for 2017 in what will be the last year of his rookie deal, but it's expected that the 24-year-old, whose play has been marred by inconsistency over his first three NFL seasons, will see his role decrease. The Jets had been shopping Pryor prior to last weekend's NFL draft, and though they found no takers, the team made upgrading the safety spot a priority in their selections. With first-round pick Jamal Adams and second-round pick Marcus Maye now in the fold, it's quite possible that Pryor may only see the field when coach Todd Bowles deploys three-safety packages. That would allow Pryor to play closer to the line of scrimmage more frequently rather than in coverage, an area where he's struggled throughout his career.
