Johnny Manziel 'unlikely' to face Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Cleveland Browns coach Mike Pettine hints that quarterback Johnny Manziel will not play against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers due to injury.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel is a major doubt to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in pre-season on Saturday, according to coach Mike Pettine.

The 22-year-old missed practice with an elbow injury yesterday, and Pettine suggests that they will not risk the quarterback against the Bucs.

He told the team's official website: "He's still experiencing a little soreness. It hasn't bounced back. Err on side of caution. Could he play [Saturday] if he had to? More than likely he could. But why do that in the pre-season?"

Manziel was the 22nd pick in the 2014 NFL Draft.
