BEREA: Browns second-year cornerback Justin Gilbert denied a report on Twitter on Sunday that he told coaches he wouldn’t go into the season finale at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Lauren Brill of WEWS (Channel 5) tweeted that Sunday night, citing a Browns team source, in a string that also included comments about Johnny Manziel, Charles Gaines and Joe Haden.
“I don’t know where it came from,” Gilbert said Monday as players cleaned out their lockers following a 3-13 season. “When somebody asked me about it, I was like, ‘What are you talking about?’ I guess it’s somebody trying to make a story or a headline or something, but that’s inaccurate.
