Browns Injury Report: CB Tramon Williams Remains Sidelined With Concussion

Cornerback Tramon Williams and wide receiver Marlon Moore suffered concussions in the game with the Chiefs and are already in the concussion protocol.

Manziel ran the ball 11 times for 108 yards in Kansas City.

Pettine and Browns general manager Ray Farmer both head into the game on the hotseat after the Browns have lost 17 of their last 20 on their watch.

The Browns have not officially ruled Manziel out, but it looks like the rowdy Texan might have played his last game as a Brown.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel (2) balances a football before an NFL football game against the Kansas City Chiefs in Kansas City, Mo., Sunday.

Manziel threw for a career-high 372 yards at Pittsburgh on November 15, though the Steelers won 30-9. Manziel has gotten only eight starts in two years to prove himself, but he’s partially to blame for that between his lackluster preparation and off-field antics that have not made the Browns happy. When they focused on Steelers RB DeAngelo Williams on early downs last month, QB Ben Roethlisberger simply picked apart the secondary for 379 yards and three touchdowns.

Also, Pettine said he did not have a chance to speak with Manziel about a video that surfaced of him partying in his home last week. “Every quarterback has their style, but I just think you need to minimize the number of times that it happens because when it does happen, as we see the result, it’s high risk, but it is also high reward”. Browns coach Mike Pettine doesn’t know yet whether Manziel will have to enter the league’s concussion protocol, and said he could miss Sunday’s season finale against Pittsburgh.

Against the Tennessee Titans and San Francisco 49ers, teams with a combined record of 7-23, Manziel completed 63 percent of his passes for 442 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. This will be the second start for Davis, who was on the wrong end of a 37-3 thumping against Cincinnati on December 6. “I’m not going to get into it”.

“Any time there’s something with our players that casts them potentially in a bad light, whether it’s Johnny or any of our other guys, it’s certainly a concern”, Pettine said on a conference call. As we’re headed into the offseason, we’ll make sure to address that. But I’m the head coach of the Cleveland Browns, and I will be the head coach until I’m told not to. “That’s going to be a constant work in progress for him, not to revert back”.

“We just have to put all of our focus on this game and control what we are able to control”, Steelers tight end Heath Miller said. “I didn’t ask. My focus each week, just like as the players’ should be, is my job, which is getting a team prepared”.
