Former Ohio State quarterback and free agent wide receiver Terrelle Pryor is in critical condition after being stabbed at his Pittsburgh apartment Friday night.
As first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Pryor was stabbed in the chest and shoulder in an incident on Friday. He underwent surgery, and a woman is in police custody.
According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, a family friend said Pryor is expected to survive the attack.

Pryor last appeared in an NFL game in 2018, when he split time between the Bills and Jets. At his peak, he was a dangerous skill player who had a 1,000-yard receiving season for the Cleveland Browns in 2016. The 30-year-old landed with the Jacksonville Jaguars this past offseason, but landed on injured reserve and was released before the start of the season. He had recently been aiming to get back into the league.
