Cleveland Browns wide receiver Terrelle Pryor will suit up in the team’s final preseason game against the Chicago Bears this weekend, according to ESPN’s Tony Grossi. Pryor has yet to make an appearance in game action for the Browns. Although the fact he is ready to get off of the sidelines is good news, Pryor is going to be limited so that his hamstring injury can continue to heal, according to beat writer Mary Kay Cabot.
Terrelle Pryor is ready to play, still needs to earn fantasy relevance

Fantasy Impact: It’s incredibly rare that a quarterback is able to make the transition to wide receiver at the NFL level, but if anyone can do it, Pryor can. He’s 6’4 and 223 pounds and his three years of experience under center with the Oakland Raiders and Seattle Seahawks clearly cement his ability to master a playbook.
On the other hand, it should surprise no one that Pryor is merely playing for a roster spot and is unlikely to be much of a factor in the early going. Even with Josh Gordon suspended and little else in the way of proven commodities at wide receiver, the fact is Pryor remains an experiment. Fantasy owners won’t draft the former passer turned receiver and they shouldn’t. Pryor’s value hinges first on his ability to make the team out of camp and secondly on how the Browns get him involved early in the season.
