Former Ohio State football star, NFL veteran Terrelle Pryor in critical condition after stabbing
Veteran free-agent wide receiver Terrelle Pryor reportedly underwent surgery and is in critical condition after he was stabbed in the chest and shoulder at his apartment in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on Friday evening. An unidentified woman is reportedly in police custody.
Pittsburgh Police said they are investigating the incident. A male stabbing victim reportedly walked into the hospital at 4:30 a.m. E.T. on Saturday; police didn't identify the man, but a source confirmed to ESPN that it was Pryor.
The 30-year-old Pryor began his NFL career in 2011 and suited up for the Oakland Raiders, Cleveland Browns, Washington Redskins, Buffalo Bills, and New York Jets. He hasn't played this season after being released by the Jacksonville Jaguars in September. Pryor is perhaps best known for his college career as a dynamic quarterback for The Ohio State University Buckeyes before he transitioned to wideout in the NFL. Read more at ESPN.
