Former LSU QB Garrett Nussmeier underwent tests at the NFL combine that revealed a cyst on his spine — the root cause of the persistent oblique pain that derailed his 2025 season, sources say.
The cyst was pressing on a nerve, causing discomfort in Nussmeier’s oblique. He has been asymptomatic since just prior to the Senior Bowl and all throughout the draft process; if that changes down the road, Nussmeier could undergo a minimally invasive procedure and miss just 2-3 weeks while stitches heal.
Either way, doctors say, there is no short- or long-term risk for Nussmeier, who is projected a mid-round pick in this week’s NFL Draft.

So the combine doctors found something that the LSU doctors didn't?

That appears to be the case

Well, that explains things.

Nuss has known about it since December. I’ve been telling yall I knew something.

Seems like a pretty massive fail on LSU’s part if it could have been take care of that easily.

Its not something most doctors would even look for I guess
But yeah if that is discovered early and it is indeed that easy a fix and recovery...maybe he misses the first couple of weeks but then Kelly has an excuse for those losses, and if Nuss is himself they don't look anywhere near as bad in some of those games as they did

All part of the plan to get rid of BK

I hope they film removing it

Not a great look for LSU

Since when did LSU start using the Saints/Pels doctors?
Posted on 4/20/26 at 9:51 am to Fun Bunch
The one thing LSU could have done is MRI's all over his mid section to look for something. That would show up. I have a want for more info on this.

So this horrible abdominal injury that plaqued him since last August that there was no cure for was a cyst that can be easily removed? Sounds like LSU needs new doctors.

Neither was hiring Woody, Pellini, and Mac

The man did what he had to do to get BK and staff fired. And I heavily respect Nuss for that. Sacrifice is another trait that makes a player great.

Maybe the LSU medical staff really did completely screw up Greg Brooks’ diagnosis after all.

LSU doctors = OLOL doctors. Not a good look for OLOL.

Impossible. I was told by the rant he just sucks and/or he was faking being injured.
I wish people would just shut the frick up sometimes.
