Bowles: Pryor 'should keep his mouth shut and leave the injuries to me'

Terrelle Pryor isn't having a good Tuesday.

After jawing with his former Washington Redskins teammates during a joint practice, the New York Jets wideout was on the receiving end of a tongue lashing from his head coach.

Bowles blasted his player when asked about Pryor speaking to reporters on Monday and telling them he's recovering from a broken ankle.

"Terrelle doesn't need to be descriptive. I feel that he should keep his mouth shut and leave the injuries to me. I've already handled it. We had a conversation," Bowles said, according to Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News.

Pryor said he sustained the injury during offseason workouts in May, according to Andy Vasquez of northjersey.com. He added that he required surgery on his ankle and is still limited while recovering from the procedure.

"I'm good," Pryor said. "It's a miracle. Seriously. ... I'm just happy as hell that I'm healthy I'm able to walk. I don't have to worry about pain in my foot, pain in my ankle. I beat two surgeries, man, so I'm here, I thank God."

Pryor is taking his second crack at earning a big-money contract on a one-year, prove-it deal after spending a disappointing season with the Redskins in 2017.
