Despite being in rehab, Browns general manager Ray Farmer said Monday that he expects quarterback Johnny Manziel to be available to play during the 2015 season, reports the Akron Beacon Journal.

Farmer said he has maintained contact with Manziel, reports Cleveland.com. Manziel checked himself into rehab earlier this year, but there is no timetable on his release.

Farmer added that he believes Manziel can be sucessfull in a play-action, run-oriented offense.

Along with Manziel, the team also has quarterback Josh McCown on its roster, but Farmer said they are still pursuing other options.

"We currently don't have the guy," Farmer said.
