Remember, this is the same coach who, when watching Josh McCown get pulverized against the Baltimore Ravens two weeks ago, didn’t even hesitate to overlook Manziel and send Davis out to finish a close game. It’s been about the same non-football stuff that had ESPN’s Herm Edwards almost beside himself on Wednesday as he let loose with his passions about LeSean McCoy and the nonsense that is not related to football in the modern era. Manziel was demoted after a video emerged of him partying in an Austin nightclub on the Browns’ bye week – but Pettine reversed his decision after the Browns were trounced 37-3 by the Bengals on Sunday. The Browns lost two wide receivers to injuries against the Bengals, hurting Davis’ chances of making a strong impression.

With Manziel getting his job back, he spoke to reporters for the first time since being benched, and he feels that the Browns still believe in him as their quarterback.
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is reportedly still interested in Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel.
– Head coach Mike Pettine said cornerback Joe Haden is nearing the end of the concussion protocol and we should have an update on his status in the next week.
“Is it continuing? You do as much research as you can”, he said. “It’s an added preparation for the incoming team”.
In Manziel’s most recent start, a 30-9 road loss to the Steelers on November 15, he completed 33 of 45 passes (73.3 percent) for a career-high 372 yards and one touchdown with an interception. “We’ve got four games left, and this will give usa good sense of where we are with that room moving forward”. But the coach emphasized that Manziel has to earn the respect of teammates and the trust of coaches and that there is a bigger responsibility for a quarterback.
Wednesday was the first day of practice as the Browns prepare for the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.
The Broncos could use some help in their secondary with safeties T.J.
Ingram done: The Saints put running back Mark Ingram on injured reserve, ending his season after 12 games.
Tartt was drafted in the second round in May to be a run-stopping safety, and he’s progressed to the point where he was in on every defensive snap in Sunday’s win at Chicago.
Public opinion now favors bringing back Blaine Gabbert, who has directed the team to a 2-2 record since taking over for Colin Kaepernick. Manziel does have five fumbles this year.
– Joe Montana says Gabbert’s “great job” merits an extended stay in that role. Murray was on the field for just 14 snaps against the Patriots, carrying eight times for 24 yards.
Regarding playing football, he said he has improved every time he has had the chance to play and wants to continue that trend the last quarter of the season. “I don’t know, but there is nothing you can do now to go back and change that”.
This week the Eagles host the Bills and Rex Ryan’s aggressive front seven. Those are things we’re well aware of.
The Jets promoted safety Ronald Martin to the active roster Tuesday to replace Catapano.
