NFL.com news: NFL rules Pryor eligible, says he must sit out first five games

Former Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor is one of six players who has been declared eligible for the NFL’s supplemental draft, which has been rescheduled for Monday, Aug. 22.

The supplemental draft had originally been set to take place Wednesday, and Pryor — who was suspended by Ohio State before leaving the school — was not eligible.

In his decision allowing Pryor to enter the supplemental draft, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell determined that Pryor will be ineligible to practice prior to or play in the first five games of the NFL regular season after he signs. Pryor may be selected in the supplemental draft, negotiate and sign a contract with an NFL team and fully participate in the remainder of the preseason.
