Ex-Buckeyes quarterback Pryor waived by Bengals

The Cincinnati Bengals waived former Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor at the conclusion of their minicamp on Thursday, leaving one less candidate for the job of backing up Andy Dalton.

Pryor signed with the Bengals on May 10 following a tryout during rookie camp. He was competing with AJ McCarron and Josh Johnson for the backup job.

McCarron, a fifth-round draft pick, missed last season because of a sore shoulder. Johnson returned to Cincinnati after spending the 2014 season with San Francisco.
