A season that began with dollar sign gestures and a lot of promise has ended a week early, as Cleveland Browns head coach Mike Pettine told reporters on Monday that Manziel will miss the team's Week 17 finale with a bad hamstring. Manziel exited mid-game with that injury during Sunday's match-up versus the Carolina Panthers, and he did not return.
