The Browns are searching for a new coach, general manager — and Johnny Manziel.

His weekend itinerary remains a mystery.

The team doesn’t seem to know whether their polarizing second-year quarterback, who sustained a concussion last week in Kansas City, went to Las Vegas on Saturday as his teammates got ready for their season finale.

Manziel was not going to play Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers because he’s in the NFL’s protocol on head injuries. And while Manziel wasn’t required to be at the stadium, owner Jimmy Haslam wasn’t sure of the 23-year-old’s whereabouts.

“I’m not exactly sure where Johnny is,” Haslam said Sunday night. “Haven’t talked to him. I know our football people will be on top of that.”

Haslam said Manziel failed to report to the medical staff — as required for players with concussions — for treatment at the team’s facility on Sunday.

USA Today quoted an employee and patron who said they saw Manziel at Las Vegas’ Planet Hollywood on Saturday. The report said that Manziel, who sustained his head injury while rushing for 108 yards last week against Kansas City, ate at a restaurant in the casino and sat down at a blackjack table.
