Johnny Manziel may not be getting time on the field to make plays for the Browns, but he is catching heat on the streets of Cleveland.

Johnny Manziel's Girlfriend Is His Biggest Cheerleader

Prior to Sunday's game in Atlanta, Manziel on Saturday was out and was involved in a fight in downtown Cleveland as reported by ESPN in an obtained police report.

The Cleveland Police Department's report stated that a fan named Chris Gonos who says he was assaulted by the rookie quarterback and "his entourage" approached Manziel. The incident was reported at 2:36 a.m. from The Metropolitan at The 9 hotel in Cleveland where Manziel resides. The report does not indicate that police made any arrests.

Manziel's agent Erik Burkhardt released a statement telling a different tale.

ESPN reported that Burkhardt said, "Johnny and his roommate had been out to dinner earlier in the evening with Johnny's mother, who is staying with him this week. There was no entourage."

Manziel and his roommate were trying to get on the apartment elevator at his home when a very aggressive man and his associates accosted them.

"It was an unfortunate situation and he immediately let [Browns general manager] Ray Farmer and the team know what happened," Burkhardt added.

Farmer said in a statement, "The time of the incident is concerning to us. We continually stress to all our players the importance of sound decision-making in an effort to avoid putting themselves in these types of situations. We have addressed this appropriately with the player and will have no further comment at this time."

Browns coach Mike Pettine said Monday that Manziel did not violate any team rules regarding curfew or other restrictions. However, this morning on ESPN Radio's Mike and Mike, he said he had an issue with the late-night timing of the incident.

"We're never comfortable -- and I think Ray alluded to it in our release -- with guys being involved in incidents that late at night. We trust that they're going to be making good choices. The saying in the league, nothing good happens after midnight. That's certainly the case the closer you get to the game," he said.

He also added he spoke with Manziel about the incident, but that discussion shall remain between "a coach and a player."

The police report said Gonos sustained a swollen lip and swollen right eye, but he declined to state whether he intends to press charges when contacted by ESPN's Pat McManamon.

"I'm not talking about that right now," Gonos said.
