Browns not commenting on report of Manziel trip to Vegas
Denny Medley-USA TODAY Sports Johnny Manziel will not be suiting up for the Browns on Sun. after sustaining a concussion, still a report out of Las Vegas raises questions on whether or not he’ll be on the sideline.
Manziel also sat down at a blackjack table and a casino employee examining his photo ID exclaimed, “We’ve got Johnny Manziel with us tonight”, according to John Hornacek, a 43-year-old casino patron who witnessed the exchange. He told Cleveland.com the report was untrue when USA TODAY first tweeted it. John-Baptiste added that Manziel was at the Browns facility on Saturday morning.
Quarterback Johnny Manziel was reportedly spotted at Planet Casino eating and gambling according to a report from Scott Boeck of the USA Today.
Johnny Manziel will not play in Week 17 since he is in the NFL’s concussion program.
Manziel was not seen at FirstEnergy Stadium in the hours leading up to kickoff against the Steelers.
As word of Manziel’s presence in Las Vegas spread on social media, he posted a photo on Instagram showing him home with his dog, with the hashtag #SaturdayNights.
Pettine said that as Manziel’s second season ends, he will not be complete as a player until he is complete as a person off the field.
“Here is a guy that has an National Football League skill set, he’s very talented, if you spend some time with him, he’s a likable guy, you root for him”, Pettine said this week of Manziel. We’ll talk as we’re headed to the offseason about getting addressed to make sure that, I said this before, we want to make sure that all of our places are grounded or in good shape as people first, players second. He was also benched two games by Pettine for being a distraction during the team’s bye week and a video surfaced this week of Manziel rapping to a song while holding a can of what appears to be an alcoholic drink. “I think we’re on the right track, so we’re not going to blow things up”.
