Terrelle Pryor says recovery from fractured ankle will keep him out vs. Redskins

RICHMOND, Va. - New York Jets wide receiver Terrelle Pryor said it's a "miracle" he's able to play football only three months after his second ankle surgery in less than a year -- the latest of which was more serious than the team let on.

Pryor revealed Monday his surgery in May was to repair a fracture; it was initially reported as a routine clean-up from ligament surgery last fall. He's back practicing, but he said he won't play Thursday night against his former team, the Washington Redskins -- which some might view as a convenient absence.
