BEREA, Ohio - Johnny Manziel is out and Brian Hoyer is day-to-day for the Cleveland Browns when they host the Baltimore Ravens in their season finale on Sunday.
Manziel sustained a hamstring injury in the second quarter of the Browns' 17-13 loss at Carolina yesterday.
"The hamstring was pretty significant," head coach Mike Pettine said afterwards, also calling it a "several-week injury."
Hoyer relieved Manziel in that game, going 7-for-13 on 134 yards, tossing an 81 yard touchdown to Jordan Cameron that gave the Browns a brief 13-10 lead.
Though his right shoulder was injured on a 7 yard sack and left the field slowly, complaining afterwards of breathing trouble.
Manziel went 3-of-8 for 32 yards in that contest, his second start for the Browns, his first ending in a 30-0 shutout at the hands of Cincinnati.
South Carolina rookie Connor Shaw has been called up from the team's practice squad and will take reps with the first team in practice. Should Hoyer not be ready Sunday, Shaw will get the start.
Cleveland (7-8) lost their last four games and five of their last six after entering that stretch with a 6-3 mark and their sights on a postseason berth from the competitive AFC North.
