Johnny Manziel’s comeback took a detour to a hospital.
The quarterback trying to make his way back to professional football was hospitalized in Texas on Monday night over a medication mishap, TMZ Sports reported .
“It seems like he had a reaction to an adjustment in his prescription,” Manziel rep Denise Michaels told the gossip site. “He’s fine and headed home.”
Manziel recently said he is bipolar. It is unclear if the medication is related to that diagnosis.
“I am taking medication for bipolar, and I am working to try to make sure I don’t fall back into any type of depression, because I know where that leads me and I know how slippery a slope that is for me,” Manziel said in an interview with “Good Morning America.”
The free-agent quarterback was in Humble, Texas, for JMBLYA, a music festival, as well as a golf tournament that his former Texas A&M teammate Mike Evans hosts.
Manziel hasn’t played pro football since flaming out of the NFL after the 2015 season. The former Brown, with red flags including domestic violence allegations, is trying to rehabilitate himself and could be headed to the CFL. The Hamilton Tiger-Cats currently hold the rights to negotiate with the Heisman Trophy winner.
