Browns QB Johnny Manziel being evaluated for concussion
The team promptly put him in the protocol and diagnosed him with a concussion and Pettine hinted that Manziel will likely be ruled out for Sunday’s finale against the Steelers.

All that running around – on the field – caught up with Johnny Manziel. Manziel and the team’s medical staff did not think about a concussion immediately after the incident, but when he arrived at the team’s practice facility complaining about symptoms related to a concussion, it was when team officials decided he be evaluated.
Austin Davis is preparing to make his second career start for the Browns in Week 17 if Johnny Manziel is unable to play.
The Browns may have to sign a third quarterback and will have wide receiver Terrelle Pryor, a former quarterback with Oakland, take snaps in practice.
Manziel kept the Browns in against the Chiefs with his running ability, but he paid a price. He picked up 34 yards on the first play of the second half and made several other key runs.
While talking to the media Thursday, Coach Mike Pettine reflected on this past season and what he felt was positive about it. Manziel was also landed on by 288-pound defensive end Allen Bailey following a scramble in the fourth quarter.
Now it is time for Manziel to start repaying the team for that trust.
Following the announcement regarding Manziel’s situation, speculation on the Internet immediately focused on the recent video that surfaced regarding the quarterback.
The most interesting part of that tweet is the whole concussion thing because news of Johnny Football suffering a head injury just popped up around Cleveland over the last few days.
Manziel had a chance in Week 17 to finish strong against a poor Steelers pass defense he had success against earlier this season.
This time, Party Manziel took a video of himself rapping along to the song “March Madness” by Future, which wouldn’t be bad…if he didn’t have a Four Loko in his hand.
While nothing definitive has been communicated to Pettine, according to Getlin, team owner Jimmy Haslam declined to give Pettine any assurances regarding his future with the team during discussions last week. He may be showing progress on the field, sure, but how can you feel comfortable with him off the field, especially after he was benched for a similar instance earlier this season?
The biggest jump for the Chiefs came after their 33-3 win over the Chargers back in Week 11, when they went from No. 22 all the way up to No. 13 in that next week’s ranking. The loss of Tramon Williams is also huge as he is perhaps the best cornerback on the Browns current 53-man roster.

“I know the number has been high here in Cleveland even going back a couple years”, Pettine said. Our training staff is already looking at those and pulling individual clips. “But there are problems there that we’ll talk about as we’re headed to the offseason about getting addressed”. TE Gary Barnidge needs 23 yards to join Hall of Famer Ozzie Newsome (1981, 84) and Kellen Winslow (2007) as only Browns TEs with 1,000 in season….
