Mike Tomlin prepares Pittsburgh Steelers for Johnny Manziel

Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin has conceded that he will have his team fully prepared for the possibility of Johnny Manziel playing a part in their clash on Sunday.

The Cleveland Browns travel to Heinz Field for their opening game of the season with a degree of uncertainty still surrounding their quarterback position.

"We've got a great deal of respect for Johnny Manziel and his talents. They didn't draft him in the first round to watch. We fully expect them to utilize him in some capacity in this football game," Tomlin said, ESPN reports.

Brian Hoyer is still expected to start for the visitors after completing 24 of 44 passes for 261 yards, a touchdown and an interception during pre-season. Meanwhile, Manziel completed 30 of 59 passes for 296 yards and two touchdowns but also rushed for 88 yards.
