The Washington Redskins and New York Jets are set to hold joint practices in less than two weeks, and one of the big things to watch will be how Terrelle Pryor interacts with his former teammates. There have been indications that things could get chippy, but Pryor insists he is not concerned about it.
Pryor apparently rubbed some Redskins defenders the wrong way during practices a year ago with the way he showboated while full tackling was not allowed. If his ex-teammates plan on retaliating for that, Pryor is confident it will be handled.

Earlier this offseason, Redskins linebacker Zach Brown said Washington defenders are going to “have it out for (Pryor)” with head coach Jay Gruden no longer able to protect him from contact. Brown also explained the supposed antics that irritated Redskins players.
There’s no need for anyone to be getting injured in joint practices, so we can only hope Redskins players don’t plan on throwing cheap shots. There are certain ways to send messages, and delivering a cheap shot in practice is not one of them.
