Terrelle Pryor apologizes for agent’s accusations against Raiders

Oakland’s Terrelle Pryor, who will return to the starting lineup for a finale against Denver, has apologized for comments by his agent that the Raiders are setting up the quarterback to fail.

Pryor, who replaces the struggling Matt McGloin, was referring to comments made to CSN Bay Area this week by his agent, Jerome Stanley.

“I think they’re putting him in [in] hopes that he fails,” Stanley said. “That’s what I think [Coach Dennis Allen] is doing. I think they’re putting him in [in] hopes that he has a bad game, so he can then justify the Matt McGloin situation. I thing that’s what’s going on, I do, and it’s ridiculous. ...

“[Allen] doesn’t want him to look good because, if he looks good this week, it makes the past five weeks [when McGloin started ahead of Pryor] look like a bad decision. [Allen] doesn’t want him to look good, he wants him to look bad.”

McGloin took over the starting job after Pryor suffered an injury to his medial collateral knee ligament, which has since healed.
