The Jacksonville Jaguars officially designated S Calvin Pryor to return from injured reserve on Wednesday.
This means that the Jaguars have used their two designations on Pryor and rookie WR Dede Westbrook.
Jacksonville now has a three-week window of time for them to add Pryor to their active roster or he’ll spend the duration of the 2017 season on injured reserve.
Pryor, 25, is a former first-round pick of the Jets back in 2014. He’s currently in the final year of his four-year, $8.56 million contract and stands to make a base salary of $1,587,717 for the 2017 season.
The Jets declined to pick up Pryor’s fifth-year option this offseason and later traded him to the Browns in return for LB Demario Davis. Pryor was waived by the Browns a few weeks ago after he got into a fight with a teammate and he was later claimed by the Jaguars.
Unfortunately, the Jaguars placed him on injured reserve a few weeks into the regular season.
In 2016, Pryor appeared in 15 games for the Jets and recorded 62 tackles, no interceptions, a forced fumble and five pass defenses. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 73 safety out of 89 qualifying players.
