Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel will reportedly not be disciplined for his role in a domestic dispute that involved alcohol and the police, according to NFL reporter Ian Rapoport.
Manziel met with the NFL Wednesday to discuss what happened in the incident and whether Manziel would be punished by the league. The NFL reportedly has made its decision and will not penalize the Browns quarterback. The Police did not charge Manziel with any crime and let him and his girlfriend Colleen Crowley go after the incident. That hasn't stopped the NFL from punishing other players in the past, but there was likely not enough evidence to determine that Manziel did anything wrong, according to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk.
After dash-cam footage was released by the police, the NFL likely decided that they need to look further into this incident. Crowley told officers that she had been hit several times and feared for her life, but she refused to press charges. The NFL was likely in a tight spot as Crowley publicly took the position that everything had been resolved and that it was just a private argument.
Manziel has been getting the starting reps this week as Josh McCown has been resting his sore right shoulder. McCown is day-to-day, according to head coach Mike Pettine, and it is unknown who the Browns will start against the Arizona Cardinals. As of right now, Manziel will suit up this Sunday, but it's unclear if he will be the one under center.
