CLEVELAND, OH (WOIO) –
Johnny Manziel was informed Tuesday that he’ll be the Cleveland Browns’ starting quarterback beginning Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers.
“Johnny will be our starting quarterback on Sunday,” said head coach Mike Pettine. “He’s been solid in the building over the last couple of weeks and we are hopeful he takes this opportunity to continue to build on the progress he’s made on the field throughout the season. The goal for every game is to go out and win, and Johnny needs to show that he can put us in position to do so during these last four weeks of the season.”
Manziel takes over for Austin Davis, who made his first start with the Browns in Cleveland’s Week 13 loss to the Bengals. Davis, who threw for 230 yards and an interception against the Bengals, will resume his role as the backup.
