Nussmeier Injury Explanation : Cyst on Spine

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.

That sounds like something that would cause pretty bad discomfort and pain. Crazy they somehow just found this.

that makes perfect sense to me. There is absolutely no question that Nuss was injured last year and not the same thrower or runner as he had been previously, or capable of.
Continuing to play him and not correctly diagnose that problem was clearly on our incomparable HC, imo.
Nuss has a chance with the right team, great receivers like Burrow had/has, to have a successful career in NFL. I'm rooting for him.

So this could have been solved in 2 to 3 weeks, but it never got found? Woof.

LSU should sue Kelly for coaching malpractice.

A pinched nerve aint no joke. Strange this was not diagnosed in preseason.

Let's not get carried away he was never a runner. We were dying for him to take off running and he almost never did. The question is why?
