NFL Notes: Aldon Smith, Broncos, Browns, & Texans

Aldon Smith

Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk reports that the NFL currently is reviewing Raiders OLB Aldon Smithโ€™s case under the substance-abuse policy with his pending DUI charge being the focal point of the review.

However, Florio adds that Smithโ€™s charges of vandalism and hit-and-run wonโ€™t create any significant problems because the accusations donโ€™t involve violence against a person.

The problem for Smith could be related to alcohol consumption, which would be a violation of his treatment plan under the substance-abuse program. Florio mentions that Smith is already in Stage 3 of the program, any deviation from his treatment plan could subject him to a one-year suspension, even without a failed alcohol test.

One other interesting note from Florio: The Jaguars and Buccaneers offered roughly twice as much money as the Raiders did for him to sign.

Broncos

Browns

Browns QB Johnny Manziel said his elbow felt a โ€œlittle bitโ€ tight during todayโ€™s game against the Jets.

โ€œThere were just a few bites here and there, just a little bit of tightness,โ€ Manziel said, via Akron Beacon Journal. โ€œBut other than that, for the majority, to go all the way through the game, it really didnโ€™t bother me that much.โ€
