Johnny Manizel makes his Canadian Football League debut Friday night as the Hamilton Tiger-Cats host the Toronto Argonauts in their first preseason game.
Manziel signed with the Tiger-Cats in mid-May but will play backup behind starting quarterback Jeremiah Masoli.
The 2012 Heisman Trophy winner is "expected to take roughly 15 snaps" in Friday's game, reports Sportsnet.
Tiger-Cats coach June Jones said earlier this week that there's no chance Manziel will start in Week 1 of the regular season.
Manziel's rights were with the Tiger-Cats, and last summer, he started the process to make the Tiger-Cats offer him a contract or release his rights.
