Keep up with the latest injuries from the Eagles vs Cowboys game on Sunday with our National Football League injury report.Mar 27, 2025
Reunites with Philadelphia
The Eagles signed Pryor to a one-year contract Thursday, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Pryor started 15 of his 17 regular-season appearances with Chicago in 2024, and he now reunites with the organization with whom he began his NFL career as a sixth-round pick in 2018. He played for the Eagles until 2020, then spent time with the Colts (2021-22) and 49ers (2023) before landing his one-year deal with the Bears. Along with Kenyon Green, Pryor now provides Philadelphia with an additional option at right guard following the departure of Mekhi Becton.

Finds new home
Pryor agreed to a one-year deal with the Bears on Wednesday, Adam Jahns of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Pryor will join Chicago for his sixth NFL season after spending 2023 in San Francisco and spending time with his new head coach, Matt Eberflus, in Indianapolis before that. The 29-year-old has spent most of his career as a reserve option, and would likely be in line to handle a similar role in 2024.

Signs deal with 49ers
Pryor and the 49ers agreed to a contract Monday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
ANALYSIS
Pryor will join San Francisco after he spent the 2022 campaign with the Colts. The offensive tackle has played in 60 games, including 24 starts, over his four-year career between the Eagles and Colts. Pryor could challenge Jaylon Moore for the starting role at right tackle in 2023.

Sheds injury designation
Pryor (illness) was a full participant on Thursday's estimated practice report, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Pryor missed Sunday's loss to the Eagles and was hospitalized due to the illness but released the same day. However, it appears Pryor has fully recovered and should be ready to go Monday against the Steelers. He'll likely resume his role as the team's starting right tackle.
Nov 21, 2022
Out of hospital with illness
Coach Jeff Saturday said Monday that Pryor was hospitalized due to an unspecified illness Sunday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Pryor was a late scratch ahead of Indianapolis' loss versus Philadelphia in Week 11 with the ailment, and his status moving forward will depend on how he recovers. If he misses time, 2021 seventh-rounder Will Fries should continue to fill in at right guard.
Nov 20, 2022
Late scratch Week 11
Pryor is inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles due to an illness.
ANALYSIS
Pryor wasn't on the Week 11 injury report, but James Palmer of NFL Network relays that the offensive lineman required hospitalization Sunday morning due to an illness. It's unclear if it's the same bug that led to several other Indianapolis players entering Week 11 with a "questionable" tag. In any case, Will Fries, Wesley French and Dennis Kelly are the only other healthy reserve offensive lineman on the active roster, with Fries seemingly the best candidate to start in Prior's stead at right guard.
May 11, 2022
Will have chance to start Week 1
Pryor said Wednesday that he's been told he'll get first crack at the starting left tackle position, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Pryor signed a one-year, $5.5 million deal with the Colts in March after being traded to Indianapolis ahead of the 2021 regular season. With Eric Fisher no longer with the team, Pryor is expected to face competition from rookie Bernhard Raimann and recently acquired Dennis Kelly.
Mar 16, 2022
Signs one-year deal with Indy
Pryor agreed to a one-year, $5.5 million deal with the Colts on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The Colts acquired Pryor via trade ahead of the 2021 campaign, and he will stick in Indianapolis for at least one more season. He figures to once again provide depth for an already stout offensive line group in 2022.
Aug 31, 2021
Traded to Indianapolis
Pryor was acquired by the Colts in a trade from the Eagles on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Pryor and the Eagles' 2022 seventh-round pick were traded to the Colts in exchange for the Colts' 2022 sixth-round pick. The guard will fill a depth role for the Colts' already strong offensive line. The 26-year-old tackle could potentially see limited depth snaps behind Braden Smith or Will Holden.
Oct 21, 2020
Back at practice
The Eagles re-instated Pryor from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
ANALYSIS
Pryor was placed on the list due to either testing positive for the virus or coming into close contact with someone who did. Now that he's been officially cleared, he'll likely assume his usual starting right guard duties for Thursday's game against the Giants.
Oct 16, 2020
Placed on COVID list
The Eagles placed Pryor (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Mike Kaye of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
ANALYSIS
Pryor has either tested positive for the virus or come into close contact with someone who did. The Eagles will now be without Pryor -- their starting right guard -- and Lane Johnson -- their starting left tackle. Jamon Brown is expected to start in Pryor's place Sunday.
Oct 16, 2020
Won't play Sunday
Pryor was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Ravens with an illness, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old started the past three games at right guard but won't be available for Week 6. Jamon Brown will receive the start for the Eagles in Pryor's absence.
