Cleveland — Johnny Manziel’s weekend itinerary remains a mystery.
The Browns were not commenting on a report that their polarizing quarterback, who sustained a concussion last week in Kansas City, went to Las Vegas on Saturday as his teammates got ready for their season finale.
Manziel was not going to play Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers because he was in the N.F.L.’s protocol on head injuries. Manziel was hurt while rushing for 108 yards in a loss to the Chiefs.
USA Today quoted an employee and patron who said they saw Manziel at Las Vegas’ Planet Hollywood on Saturday. The report said he ate at a restaurant in the casino and sat down at a blackjack table.
It was not clear if the team has a policy prohibiting players from traveling when they are out with an injury.
Typically, players who have concussions are sensitive to noise and light, and are encouraged to rest as they recover. The Browns do not require concussed players to be at the stadium for home games.

My beloved Browns are going to have a logo on their helmet next year. First time in team history.
If true...damn. So dumb.
The Cowboys want him, right Bender?
if the flashing lights and ringing bells in the casino don’t give him any problem, he’s probably ok and will have a full recovery as soon as the season is over.
At least he still knows where to find a good party.
He got hit in the head - and wallet.
How’s he doing as a quarterback? I’ve read that he was considered potentially one of the greats but I haven’t heard how he actually plays on the field.
Who would fire him?
considering it was Haslam who forced Farmer to trade up and select Manziel its no surprise they won’t comment...
Rumors here in CLE:
1. Johnny was not in the concussion protocol. He showed up at a meeting “inebriated” and was sent home.
2. Johnny did not answer his phone when the Browns tried to contact him regarding the Vegas trip.
3. Johnny’s trip was an intentional move to ensure he gets out of Cleveland.
All rumors, but the press are asking about them and radio hosts are giving them air time.
Meanwhile we fired our coach and GM. Just internally promoted our lawyer salary cap guy to have final say on all personnel decisions (including the draft) and are pursuing our new head coach BEFORE pursuing a new GM.
The guy is supposed to sit at home and watch Netflix ?
Jerruh wants a drinking buddy.
The dude knows how to party that’s for sure. If he weren’t a football player, he would be great or one of those late night commercials with the dude surrounded by chicks saying “hey, wanna know how to get girls?”
I’d be willing to bet that while he was winning titles with the Lions that Bobby Layne put away a lot more alcohol than Johnny has.
Yes. If he is truly recovering from a concussion, he should be home watching Netflix. If he is well enough to play in Vegas, he should have been in a suite at the game to support his team. Our owner also said that he failed to report for concussion treatment.
The Curse!!
damn you lol
This time it isn’t about alcohol. It’s about his supposed “concussion”.
The Browns fired their Coach and General Manager. Who is left to comment about Manziel? The Browns have a history of drafting overrated Quarterbacks late in the first round. Sure Brady Quinn and Johnny were relieved to get out of the Green room. Neither were very talented. The Browns are a sorry franchise.
