    CLEVELAND -- Johnny Manziel's weekend itinerary remains a mystery.
    The Browns are not commenting on a report that their polarizing quarterback, who sustained a concussion last week in Kansas City, went to Las Vegas on Saturday as his teammates got ready for their season finale.
    Manziel was not going to play Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers because he's in the NFL's protocol on head injuries. Manziel got hurt while rushing for 108 yards in a loss to the Chiefs.
    USA Today quoted an employee and patron who said they saw Manziel at Las Vegas' Planet Hollywood on Saturday. The report said he ate at a restaurant in the casino and sat down at a blackjack table.
    It's not clear if the team has a policy prohibiting players from traveling when they are out with an injury.
    Typically, players who have concussions are sensitive to noise, light and are encouraged to rest as they recover. The Browns do not require concussed players to be at the stadium for home games.
    Manziel was not seen at FirstEnergy Stadium in the hours leading up to kickoff against the Steelers (see full story).
    We're looking for people that are fundamentally different,” vice president of player personnel Andy Weidl said Saturday night. “The love and passion for football, it's non-negotiable. They're caring, their character, they do the right thing persistently, and they have a relentless playing style that you can see on tape. The motor, it burns hot. You see them finishing plays. They have a team-first mentality. They're selfless individuals.
