Johnny Manziel Hospitalized After Reaction to Medication

Former NFL quarterback Johnny Manziel said he was hospitalized Monday after having an adverse reaction to a medication, per Sports Illustrated:

TMZ Sports initially reported the news he was admitted to a hospital in Humble, Texas. 

"It seems like he had a reaction to an adjustment in his prescription," a Manziel representative, Denise Michaels, told TMZ. "He's fine and headed home."

Manziel, 25, was drafted by the Cleveland Browns in the first round of the 2014 NFL draft but was out of the league after just two seasons with the team as poor play and off-field concerns ultimately cut his career short.

He was also arrested for domestic violence in 2016, though he agreed to undergo a counseling program in exchange for having the charges dropped.

He's been attempting a comeback, however, throwing at the San Diego and Texas A&M Pro Days. He has participated in the Spring League, a camp for NFL hopefuls to show off their skills and attract the attention of scouts and coaches. 

He has also taken steps to improve his life off the field, quitting drinking and partying. In an interview, Manziel said he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and has gone on medication to treat it, though it's unclear if that medication caused the reaction that led to his hospitalization.  

"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,” he told Good Morning America in February (h/t Jaclyn Hendricks of the New York Post). "At the end of the day, I can't help that my wires are a little bit differently crossed than yours. I can't help my mental makeup or the way that I was created."
