Quarterback EJ Manuel will miss today's scrimmage, the first of the fall for Florida State, for precautionary reasons, the school announced.
According to a report by 1010 XL radio in Jacksonville, Manuel rolled his ankle during Wednesday's closed practice, leaving the field in a walking boot under his own power.
Manuel missed portions of three games last season with a shoulder injury, with backup Clint Trickett taking over for portions of the Oklahoma and Wake Forest games and playing all four quarters in a loss to Clemson.
