A Canadian Football League team has denied a report that it worked out former Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel, who is attempting a comeback after sitting out the 2016 NFL season.
Saskatchewan Rough Riders general manager and coach Chris Jones told TSN that "no one from our club" worked out Manziel. In a separate statement to ESPN, the CFL said: "We are investigating. The Riders tell us that they did not work out Manziel. So at this point, it appears the report is false. Should other evidence come to light, we will deal with it accordingly.
