Johnny Manziel active for Broncos game despite incident, will serve as backup with Austin Davis inactive

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel is active for the Broncos today despite the fact he was questioned by police Monday for an argument with his girlfriend that began on Interstate 90 and ended on the side of the road.

Manziel will serve as the backup to Josh McCown and be pressed into service if McCown can't finish the game or needs to be replaced.

Manziel and his girlfriend, Colleen Crowley, were not charged with anything, but Manziel admitted to drinking two alcoholic beverages in the afternoon before eyewitnesses saw him driving 90 mph down the berm and crossing lanes erratically before exiting on Nagel Road in Avon.
