Manziel practices with first teamers

Johnny Manziel took a planned trip up the depth chart.

The Browns’ rookie quarterback spent practice taking snaps with Cleveland’s starters for the first time at training camp on Monday, moving ahead of Brian Hoyer for at least one day.

Coach Mike Pettine said Manziel’s promotion was simply the next step in the club’s evaluation of the two quarterbacks, who are in their second full week of fighting it out to be the starter.

“It’s just part of our plan,” Pettine said. “We said we were going to allow the quarterbacks to compete, at some point you’ve got to mix up the supporting cast a little bit. It’s all part of it.”

Manziel had worked exclusively with Cleveland’s second-string offense until Monday, when Hoyer was dropped back with the subs.

Pettine cautioned not to look deeper into the change and said there’s still a strong chance Hoyer will start Saturday’s exhibition opener against Detroit.
