The mysterious “previous incident’’ redacted from court documents in the 2002 defamation lawsuit brought against Peyton Manning by a former University of Tennessee athletic trainer may involve an accusation that Manning had cheated in a class his freshman year at Tennessee. The Washington Post reported Sunday that at least one reference to the 1994 incident escaped redaction in court documents. In that passage, a lawyer for plaintiff ­Jamie Naughright asks former Tennessee athletic director Doug Dickey if he was aware that Naughright was a guest lecturer in a course Manning had taken, and whether he knew that Naughright had spoken to the course’s instructor about the possibility that Manning had committed academic fraud in the course. Dickey answered no to both questions, and in his own testimony Manning denied ever being in a course with Naughright . . .

Embattled Browns quarterback Johnny ­Manziel has at least one high-profile supporter. Super Bowl MVP Von Miller says he is standing by his friend and fellow Texas A&M Aggie. “I'm not worried,’’ the Broncos star said. “I feel like Johnny’s taking care of business. He has adversity. Every­body has been here with adversity. I've been here with my own personal adversity. The support that I'm giving him is the support that he’s given me in the past.’’

BASEBALL

Dodgers sign Sierra Cuban pitcher Yaisel Sierra signed a $30 million, six-year contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 24-year-old righthander will get a $6 million signing bonus in the deal announced Sunday . . . Mariners outfielder Leonys Martin says he will not be distracted by the legal proceedings involving his agent, Bart Hernandez, who was arrested Friday for smuggling Cuban players into the United States. ‘‘All I got on my mind is playing baseball,’’ Martin said. ‘‘That’s all I'm about. I've got no comment on him.’’ . . . The Marlins have adopted a no-facial-hair policy for the coming season, and new manager Don Mattingly says he supports it. That might seem a little surprising, given that when Mattingly was playing for the Yankees in 1991, he was benched for refusing to cut his hair.
