Josh McCown suffers concussion in Week 1; Johnny Manziel could present deep

After that, though, Manziel ran around like his hair was on fire and was overmatched as the three turnovers reflect. Speaking of running, Manziel also showed that his first, second and third instinct upon seeing a play break down is to still make a dash for it, which is exciting to watch but not the best way to win games in the NFL.

Mauldin, originally thought to have a neck injury, instead was diagnosed with a concussion, good news considering coach Todd Bowles said he’d seen “very little movement” from the player. It was extremely short lived.

“That would be real hard to try to coach out of him, say, ‘Hey, listen, don’t risk yourself, ‘” Pettine said.

Due to McCown having to go through the league’s concussion protocol, his status for Week 2 is in question.

“After that it goes out to the team-mates and you just hope he’s not seriously hurt”. Although it’s just one game, it’s a good start toward a balanced offense. He’s going to do a great job.

For the most part, QB Ryan Fitzpatrick gave the Jets exactly what they were expecting Sunday. That wasn’t the case with Manziel.

Better still does not equal “starting quarterback” however, as after a touchdown pass to Travis Benjamin on his first drive of the game, Manziel and the offense had eight drives and only put up three points. He returned to throwing last Monday, but was limited in practice. The 26-year-old began the game with a 51-yard touchdown pass to Percy Harvin and he threw two more in his team’s 13-point win over the Colts. So, of course, I’m ready to go play.

Manziel started the second half with an interception intended for receiver Brian Hartline on a hook route on the left sideline. Before we get to that though, there is more to discuss about the Jets victory over the Browns.

The Jets (1-0) had five takeaways against the Browns (0-1), who committed 12 penalties. But it was mostly downhill from there as Manziel threw an interception and lost two fumbles. The first was poked away by defensive lineman Muhammad Wilkerson. Focus for six seconds for one play and then hit the reset button.

“Can’t turn it over”, Manziel said.

“Obviously, the second half leaves a bitter taste in our mouth but we’ll see what happens throughout this next week”, Manziel said following the game.

Among non-concussion injuries on Sunday, the Ravens received bad news after dropping a 19-13 decision to the Broncos, the team announcing that linebacker Terrell Suggs – who was carted into the locker room in the fourth quarter – has a torn Achilles tendon and will miss the rest of the season. Cromartie excelled as the No. 2 corner in Arizona previous year opposite Patrick Peterson, and will be in a similar role this season with Darrelle Revis and Buster Skrine taking on top opposing receivers.

Austin Davis said he would probably have done the same thing as McCown if faced with an identical situation. “After that, it just looked like his eyes rolled into the back of his head”.

Tramon Williams’ first game as a Cleveland Brown did not unfold as he originally cooked up in his mind.
