When practice resumes Wednesday, the Browns will plan as if Johnny Manziel will be their starting quarterback Sunday in the team’s home opener at FirstEnergy Stadium.
Browns coach Mike Pettine wasn’t able to provide much of an update Monday on veteran Josh McCown, who is going through the league’s concussion protocol after taking a hard hit near the end of Sunday’s first quarter.
“In an ideal situation, Josh would be back at the end of the week but we have to plan otherwise, meaning he won’t be available at least early for practice,” Pettine said.
