Pryor watches as Raiders fall to Seattle
By TIM BOOTH, AP Sports Writer
SEATTLE (AP)?Terrelle Pryor?s(notes) night consisted of holding a clipboard, with an earpiece hooked to his left ear and a football tucked under his left arm.
So much for Pryor getting any playing time before his five-game suspension kicks in.
See ya in October, Terrelle.
While Seattle?s offense showed some bright spots that should make fans a little less apprehensive heading into the regular season opener on Sept. 11 in San Francisco, most of the focus was on the Raiders? sideline and if Pryor would get into the game.
Raiders coach Hue Jackson hadn?t committed to anything related to Pryor and as the final minutes of the fourth quarter ticked away, it was Kyle Boller(notes) continuing to take snaps and Pryor serving as a spectator.
Jackson said he was briefly tempted to give Pryor a few snaps, but ultimately decided he didn?t want to put Pryor in a situation where he might not yet be familiar with what the Raiders were trying to do.
?I had thought about it, but again there was so much pressure and having to call plays I know he hadn?t had a chance to practice,? Jackson said. ?I didn?t want to put him in an uncomfortable situation. I don?t think that?s fair to the kid.?

Breer explains that Pryor likely pursued the matter due to concerns by veteran players that the NFL now plans to help enforce NCAA regulations.* The league has insisted that Pryor?s case sets no precedent.
Flocka;1982232; said:He will try to prove there was no way he could come back to OSU because of other violations not yet known to the NCAA.
That's the supposed reason he was suspended because he circumvented the draft and then applied for the supplemental when his eligibility had not changed since January.BB73;1984336; said:What virtually nobody seems to mention is that if TP would have declared in January for the NFL Draft, he probably wouldn't have been suspended by the NFL at all.
