The latest from NFL games on the 14th Sunday of the regular season (all times EST):

12:55 p.m.

Terrelle Pryor's finally getting the chance to show off his receiving skills.

The former Oakland and Ohio State quarterback, who changed positions to prolong his NFL career, is active for Sunday's game against San Francisco and the Browns are expected to play Pryor as they try to snap a seven-game losing streak.

Pryor spent training camp with Cleveland but was one of the team's final cuts. The Browns have long been intrigued by his size and athleticism and they re-signed the 6-foot-4, 233-pound Pryor on Dec. 2.

It's possible the Browns will give Pryor a few snaps at quarterback. Johnny Manziel is back in the starting lineup after being benched two games for bad behavior.

The Browns are thin at receiver with Andrew Hawkins and Taylor Gabriel both sidelined with concussions. Also, wide receiver Dwayne Bowe, who signed a two-year contract with $9 million guaranteed during the offseason, was inactive for the eighth time - seven as a healthy scratch.
