NFL-National Football League roundup

Oct 28 (The Sports Xchange) - Cleveland Browns backup quarterback Johnny Manziel is expected to meet with NFL investigators after practice Wednesday. The NFL is investigating whether Manziel violated the league's personal-conduct policy in an Oct. 12 incident with his girlfriend. Manziel was stopped by police on an interstate in the Cleveland suburb of Avon after driving at a high rate of speed and weaving through traffic. He had an argument with his girlfriend, who told police that Manziel hit her "a couple times" and pushed her face against a car window. - - Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback William Gay has been fined by the NFL for wearing purple shoes in honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Gay's mother was shot and killed by his stepfather in an act of domestic violence when Gay was 7 years old. Gay was fined $5,787 because the purple cleats violate the NFL's uniform code. - - The New York Jets released punter Steve Weatherford after a four-day stint when he was signed as an emergency replacement last week. Regular punter Ryan Quigley missed last Sunday's game against the New England Patriots with a leg infection. Quigley, who has been taking antibiotics, apparently is ready to come back for Sunday's game against the Oakland Raiders. - - The Tampa Bay Buccaneers promoted wide receiver Adam Humphries from the practice squad to the active roster. Humphries has two receptions for 14 yards in three games with the Buccaneers this season. - - Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is back on top with the NFL's best-selling jersey and in overall merchandise sales. The NFL Players Inc., the licensing and marketing arm of the NFL Players Association, released its list of the top 50 best-selling players among products licensed from March through August. Wilson ended last year atop the NFLPA's sales charts, but he was interrupted by New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady at the top of the first-quarter list. Brady took the No. 2 spot despite an offseason of Deflategate controversy. - - The New England Patriots claimed safety Dewey McDonald off waivers from the Indianapolis Colts, placed linebacker Rufus Johnson on the non-football illness list, signed defensive backs Floyd Raven Sr. and Ross Ventrone to the practice squad and released defensive back Brandon Dixon from the practice squad.
