Oakland Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor saw his first game action of the season in the team’s victory over the Kansas City Chiefs last week.

He could see an even further increased role as the Raiders take on the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.

According to Vic Tafur of the San Francisco Chronicle, Pryor will see time on third downs and possibly get some red zone snaps as well against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.

“We’re going to try and use some of his athletic ability this week,” offensive coordinator Greg Knapp said.

Pryor has been active for just two games in his two seasons in the league and has been on the field for a grand total of four plays. Pryor played three snaps and threw the first pass of his career, an incompletion intended for Darrius Heyward-Bey, in the Raiders 15-0 win over the Chiefs last week.
