The 25-year-old quarterback missed practice on Tuesday due to a prescheduled medical appointment.

For what it’s worth, GM Kavis Reed just showed up at practice, walked on the field and is talking to HC Mike Sherman. #Alouettes

Manziel went 16-for-26 passing for 168 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions in a 24-17 loss to the Ottawa Redblacks on Saturday night, far better than his first CFL start when he had four passes picked off by the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in a 50-11 drubbing.

The Alouettes released a statement explaining Manziel’s absence from practice on Wednesday.
