(SportsNetwork.com) - Johnny Manziel will reportedly make his first NFL start on Sunday for the Cleveland Browns. Brian Hoyer had started the first 13 games of the season for the Browns, who are trying to stay alive in the AFC playoff race at 7-6. Manziel saw his first real action in a relief role two weeks ago in a loss to Buffalo and guided the Browns to their lone touchdown in a 26-10 setback, but coach Mike Pettine decided to stay with Hoyer for another week. Hoyer again struggled last Sunday against Indianapolis and FOX Sports and NFL.com have reported that Manziel will get the nod for this weeks critical contest against Cincinnati. The Bengals lead the AFC North with a record of 8-4-1. On Monday, Pettine said he would meet with coaches before making a decision and would inform the players before any announcement. FOX Sports said Tuesday that both Hoyer and Manziel have been notified of the decision. Hoyer completed just 14-of-31 passes for 140 yards with two interceptions and no touchdowns in last weeks 25-24 loss to the Colts. In the past four games, he has thrown eight interceptions and just one touchdown pass. The Browns are 1-3 in that time. Over 13 games this season, Hoyer has thrown for 3,196 yards with 11 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. Manziel was 5-of-8 for 63 yards passing and ran for a touchdown against the Bills. He also fumbled. Fred Jackson Jersey . After surrendering four goals on 28 shots in Canadas 5-4 shootout loss to the Czech Republic on Saturday, Jake Paterson will watch the Slovak game from the bench. Cyrus Kouandjio Jersey . De Rosario, who has made 60 appearances for the mens national team, is the most experienced player on the 19-man roster released today. http://www.authenticbillsgear.com/women-fred-jackson-jersey/ . Markov had been practicing with the team and was expected to return soon until this latest development. "Despite his progress the team asked him to see a doctor here in Los Angeles," said Habs general manager Pierre Gauthier. Buffalo Bills Chris Williams Jersey . A big trade and a visit from Blue Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos changed that. The Blue Jays are bringing back the 42-year-old veteran for a 20th season. They previously exercised Olivers US$3-million option for the 2013 season, and announced Wednesday that they have convinced the reliever to return to Toronto. Youth Cyrus Kouandjio Jersey . While Bobby Ryan and Erik Karlsson played significant roles in Ottawas 5-2 win over the Montreal Canadiens, neither was on the bench by the end of the game.TORONTO -- The big names are missing from Spains lineup for next months Davis Cup tie against Canada. Rafael Nadal wont be ready to return from injury. David Ferrer is skipping the tie after a long run at the Australian Open. Fernando Verdasco is giving it a miss too. However, it will still be very tough for Canada to knock off the top-ranked nation when they meet Feb. 1-3 in a World Group first-round matchup at the Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre in Vancouver. The Spanish team will include world No. 11 Nicolas Almagro, doubles stars Marcel Granollers and Marc Lopez and Davis Cup rookie Albert Ramos. Canada will counter with world No. 15 Milos Raonic of Thornhill, Ont., fellow youngster Vasek Pospisil of Vancouver along with Davis Cup veterans Frank Dancevic of Niagara Falls, Ont., and Torontos Daniel Nestor. "Over the last couple of years we have really established a solid group of players who are all passionate about playing Davis Cup," Canadian captain Martin Laurendeau said Tuesday in a release. "Im extremely happy with the group coming to Vancouver and feel confident about returning to a place that showed us such tremendous fan support last year." The winner of the tie will move on to the World Group quarter-finals. The loser falls into a playoff tie that it would need to win in order to stay at the elite level for 2014. "Spain is going to be a real challenge," Laurendeau said. "They are the top team in the world with incredible depth. They have 13 players in the top 100 alone so no matter what team theyre bringing, it will be stacked with talent. "Our guys will train hard all week and be at their best for the weekend but we will also need a loud crowd on our side to help us pull off this upset." There are two singles matches set for the Friday of Davis Cup week, a doubles match on Saturday and reverse singles on Sunday. If the 15th-ranked Raonic can record a pair of singles victories, the Canadians could have a chance for an upset. Theyll need to get a boost from the home crowd and hope the indoor hardcourt gives them an advantage on the Spaniards, who are strongest on clay.dddddddddddd Even without Nadal, Ferrer and Verdasco -- all ranked in the top 25 -- Spain is still a strong favourite. Almagro is an experienced player who boasts a sparkling 8-0 Davis Cup record on clay, but is just 1-3 on hardcourts. Granollers gives Spain a double weapon -- he holds the No. 32 position in the singles rankings and has enjoyed success on the doubles court with Lopez. They closed out the 2012 season by winning the ATP World Tour Finals in London. Ramos is also a solid option at No. 51 in the singles rankings. Alex Corretja will serve as the team captain. Canada has the worlds fifth-ranked doubles player in Nestor, who holds the national record for most Davis Cup wins (44), doubles victories (29) and ties played (42). However, he teams with international players on tour and will be hard-pressed to match the Spanish duos game with Dancevic or Pospisil. Raonic was hampered by a foot problem in his recent straight-set loss to Switzerlands Roger Federer in the fourth round at the Australian Open. He underwent an MRI exam before the match but it turned out to be just minor inflammation. "Hes fine, no worries about Milos," Laurendeau said. The 12th-ranked Canadian side has quite a dropoff in its singles rankings after the hard-serving right-hander. Pospisil is next at No. 127 and Dancevic is at No. 165. Jesse Levine of Ottawa, Filip Peliwo of Vancouver and Torontos Adil Shamasdin will also be travelling to Vancouver with the Canadian team as part of an extended squad of players. Spain won the only previous Davis Cup meeting between the two countries, topping Canada 4-1 on outdoor clay courts at Murcias La Manga Club in 1991. Nadal hasnt played since last June, mainly due to tendinitis in his left knee. He is scheduled to return to the ATP Tour on Feb. 4 at the Chile Open in Vina del Mar. Nadal was not in the lineup when Ferrer guided the five-time Davis Cup champions to last years final, where they lost to Croatia. Canada defeated South Africa last September to qualify for the World Group. cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys from china ' ' '
