Jets ask Calvin Pryor to save the big hits for when games count

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. - Second-year safety Calvin Pryor has a reputation for being a hitter, but the former first-round pick didn't make any Brownie points with Jets coach Todd Bowles, or his teammates, after getting a little rough in team practices in this week's minicamp.

With players wearing no padding other than helmets, and practices supposed to be non-contact, Pryor got a little overly physical with some receivers the last two days, and one collision Wednesday on tight end Zach Sudfeld knocked the 6-7, 260-pound, third-year player out of practice. Sudfeld sat out practice Thursday with what Bowles said was a knee injury.
