(Reuters) - Johnny Manziel will regain the starting quarterback role for the struggling Cleveland Browns in this Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers, according to a report on nfl.com.
Coach Mike Pettine said at his Monday press conference that he was not prepared to name his starting quarterback, but NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport, citing a sourced informed of the decision, said Manziel would be under center for the game.
The Browns (2-10) have lost seven games in a row and need to evaluate what Manziel has to offer to prepare themselves better for the NFL Draft following the season.
