NFL Note: Browns, Cowboys, Eagles, Rams, Saints, & Texans

Browns

  • Browns HCย Mike Pettine told reporters that they have toย plan as thoughย Johnny Manziel will be their starting quarterback inย Week 2. (Mary Kay Cabot)
  • Ian Rapoport reports that Browns QBย Josh McCown woke up feeling good this morningย and is in the NFL’s concussion protocol.

Cowboys

  • Cowboys HCย Jason Garrett confirmed that WRย Dez Bryant‘s surgery is tomorrow, and they anticipate he’llย be out 4-6 weeks. (Desmond Purnell)
  • Garrett added: “We do anticipate a full recovery when it’s fixed.” (Mike Garafolo)
  • Regarding rookie DEย Randy Gregory, Garrett said it’s looking like a four-week absence, due to a high-ankle sprain. (Todd Archer)

Eagles & Rams

ESPN’s Adam Schefter mentions that withย Sam Bradford starting tonight for the Eagles, the possibility of Philadelphia receiving the Rams 2016 third-round pick will be eliminated.

The Eagles can still get theย Rams 2016 fourth-round pick as part of the trade that involved Bradford heading toย Philadelphia forย Nick Foles.

However, this will come down to the percentageย of snapsย Bradford plays in 2015. If he does not playย at least 50 percent of the Eagles’ plays this season, Philadelphia will get the Ramsโ€™ 2016 fourth-round selection.

The Rams ownย the Eagles 2016 second-round pick no matter what happens with either quarterback.

Saints

  • Aaron Wilson reports thatย OTย Jake Rodgers is trying out for the Saints on Tuesday.

Texans

Texans HCย Bill O’Brien told reporters on Mondayย that he won’t make an officialย announcement regarding the team’s starting quarterbackย this week.

“I’m not going to make a big quarterback announcement today,” O’Brien said Monday, via theย Houston Chronicle. “You’ll have to wait for the first play of the Carolina game to see.”
