The Facts: Manziel is expected to be a full participant in Tuesday's OTA session, marking the first glimpse of him throwing in a competitive setting since his turbulent rookie year and his 10-week stay in rehab.
Diehards Line:
Manziel threw footballs during phase one of offseason workouts last month, but Tuesday is the first noncontact practice of the offseason. As ESPN.com's Jeremy Fowler notes, the Browns have a plan for Manziel, who is working with quarterbacks Josh McCown, Connor Shaw and Thad Lewis. HC Mike Pettine says McCown is the favorite to start, stressing football is an afterthought to Manziel's health. Manziel spent nearly three months at Caron Treatment Center in Reading, Pennsylvania. He was released in early April. "The way he is now is night and day from last year," left tackle Joe Thomas told NFL Network. "He has a bright future ahead of him."
