Johnny Manziel Suffers Head Injury, Leaves AAF Game vs. Apollos

Manziel was hit in the head by a defender's knee while trying to make a tackle on an interception return.

Johnny Manziel suffered a head injury and was taken to the locker room during a Memphis Express game against the Orlando Apollos on Saturday.

After Manziel's first touchdown pass was waved off for offensive pass interference, the former Texas A&M quarterback threw an interception in the end zone. During Will Hill III's return, Manziel attempted to make a tackle and instead made contact with Hill's knee. 

Manziel had to be helped off the field. He was taken to the locker room and ruled out for the game.
