A spinal cyst that affected and prematurely ended LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier's 2025 season has been asymptomatic since the Senior Bowl, NFL Network reported Monday.
Medical testing at the NFL Scouting Combine revealed the cyst, which was pressing on a nerve and causing the draft prospect's oblique pain. Doctors said there is no short- or long-term risk for the injury, per the report.
Should the pain resurface, Nussmeier could undergo a 'minimally invasive' procedure to fix the issue which would sideline him for just two to three weeks.
Nussmeier played just nine games last season, seeing a steep drop-off in production as he battled oblique pain, with his passing yards falling from 4,052 in 2024 to 1,927 and his passing touchdowns cut from 29 to 12.
ESPN's latest seven-round mock draft posted Monday morning has Nussmeier being selected in the third round of this week's draft by the Los Angeles Rams.
Over parts of five seasons in Baton Rouge, Nussmeier completed 64.0% of his passes for 7,699 yards with 52 TDs and 24 interceptions in 40 games.
