Johnny Manziel expected to start Sunday for Browns

Johnny Manziel is reportedly getting the nod to quarterback the Browns against Pittsburgh on Sunday.

The word comes from Mary Kay Cabot, despite the fact that coach Mike Pettine has been mum on his quarterback choice publicly.

It will be Manziel’s third start of the season, having won one and lost one. The Browns weren’t thrilled with Manziel’s most recent start, so this may simply be a case of Josh McCown not being healthy enough to go rather than Manziel impressing enough to earn another start, as Pettine had committed to McCown earlier in the week provided he was healthy.
