Jets' Terrelle Pryor broke ankle in May

RICHMOND, Va.—Terrelle Pryor raised eyebrows after the Jets’ joint practice with the Redskins on Monday by announcing he would not play in Thursday’s preseason game against the Redskins, then adding he needs to play in one to be ready for the opener.

Then the Jets receiver raised those eyebrows even higher when he revealed that he broke his ankle in practice in May —something not previously known publicly.

He said it was a “miracle” he is on the field at all, seemingly healthy after missing most of last season with the Redskins because of a foot injury he suffered in September, then the ankle break in May.
