Berea, OH (SportsNetwork. Mario Lemieux Penguins Jersey .com) - The Cleveland Browns have officially ended Johnny Manziels rookie season by placing the rookie quarterback on injured reserve Wednesday. Browns head coach Mike Pettine had already stated during his Monday press conference that Manziel would miss Sundays season finale at Baltimore with a hamstring injury the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner sustained in Clevelands Week 16 loss to Carolina. Manziel wasnt able to meet expectations in his NFL debut, as the first-round pick was beaten out by journeyman Brian Hoyer in the preseason and served as the backup for the Browns first 13 games. He got his chance to start in Clevelands game against Cincinnati on Dec. 14, but managed just 80 passing yards and was intercepted two times in a 30-0 loss to the Bengals. The former Texas A&M star was 3-for-8 for 32 yards before exiting late in the first half of Sundays 17-13 setback to the Browns. Hoyer replaced Manziel but hurt his throwing shoulder during the Carolina game and did not take part in Wednesdays practice. His status for Sundays contest remains uncertain. If Hoyer cannot play, either newly signed Tyler Thigpen or undrafted rookie Connor Shaw would draw the starting assignment at quarterback. Thigpen was just signed by the Browns on Tuesday, while Shaw is currently still on the teams practice squad. Nose tackle Ishmaaily Kitchen was also put on IR Wednesday due to a leg injury, while fellow defensive lineman John Hughes was activated from injured reserve/designated to return. Hughes has been sidelined since spraining his right knee against Oakland in Week 8. The third-year pro had 10 tackles in four games (two starts) prior to the injury.

"We dont know how much because we need to see how hes going, but hes available," U.CHICAGO -- Josh Thomson is hoping Benson Henderson has his sights on another title fight against Anthony Pettis. The veteran fighter will be squaring off with Henderson in a five-round lightweight bout as part of another network televised card at the United Center on Saturday night. Henderson (19-3), the former UFC lightweight champion, gave up the title after being submitted by Pettis armbar at UFC 164. Henderson had a seven-fight winning streak going into the fight against Pettis which was the second longest in UFC lightweight history. Hendersons two of the three losses came against Pettis. Henderson is aiming at a third fight against his rival with the belt on the line this summer if he can beat Thomson (20-5) on Saturday. Thomson appears to be just another fighter in Hendersons path to get to Pettis. "He (Pettis) can stay injured for a year, stay hurt til July, two years, whatever. Every guy UFC would give a title shot to, send them my way. Ill go down the entire list of the top 10. I will beat everybody. Lets do that. When he is healthy, when he does come back then Ill be waiting," said Henderson. Thomson isnt expecting to be overlooked, who will be giving up 5 years in age to the 30-year old. "No, I dont think he does. I think he is a confident person. He was just the champion for the last two years. He would be a fool to underestimate me, which would be fine with me if he did," said Thomson Thomson was supposed to get the first shot at Pettis on Dec. 14 but Pettis tore his PCL while training for the fight. Henderson believes Thomson is looking ffor any motivation he can get for Saturdays fight. Larry Murphy Jersey. "I would say probably. Hes probably reached on that aspect. I know there are no easy fights in the UFC. He knows there are no easy fights in the UFC. If he chooses to think that, cool, no worries. Whatever you need to do to get yourself amped up, excited and ready to go, people do different things," said Henderson. Thomson is coming off an impressive victory against Nate Diaz on April 20, 2013. He became the first fighter in Diazs 25-fight career to finish him with strikes, landing a head kick in the second round that initially got him the fight against Pettis. "Im 35, if I win the title thats great. If I dont win the title thats great, too. Ive had a great career. I was number one in the world back in 2003, 2004. I am ranked number four in the world now and its in a way bigger scale now," said Thomson. The card also features a three-round heavyweight fight featuring Stipe Miocic and Gabriel Gonzaga. Miocic (10-1) Miocic is coming off a dominating unanimous decision against Roy Nelson in UFC 161. He had one of the most dominating strike performances in UFC heavyweight history, landing 106 strikes to 23. Gonzaga (16-7), has finished all his victories, nine by knockout and seven by submission. He has only gone the distance once as a pro. Donald Cerrone (21-6) is back in Chicago, a year after getting knocked out by Pettis in a lightweight fight. He will be fighting Adriano Martins from Brazil. Martins (25-6) won his only fight in the UFC. He beat Daron Cruickshank on Nov. 9, 2013. ' ' '
