Browns terminate contract of Phil Taylor
September 1, 2015Phil Taylor thanks Browns fans after release
September 1, 2015Johnny Manziel is talking about his elbow, or Johnny Manzielbow. Mostly, he downplayed the whole thing and talked about how he just needed a bit of rest. Manziel even used the word “tendinitis” which is pretty common terminology for many kinds of general inflammation. Obviously, you hope he’s right, and it isn’t like anyone’s talked about surgery or a stint on the injured list, so maybe we should take him at his word.
Still, it’s concerning any time a player misses time due to injury. Phil Taylor was cut by the Browns and that former first rounder got to be known a bit more for the number of games he was missing than the nasty attitude and domineering physicality he brought to the defensive line. Manziel’s stint as a starter was short-lived due to injury to his hamstring. Now to start his second year it’s the elbow.
Hopefully it isn’t a pattern, but it doesn’t take long for the perception of a pattern to emerge depending on whose eyes are doing the looking.

MKC looks faint!
I do not really follow college football. Did Manziel have injury issues in college?
