Lousiana State University QB Garrett Nussmeier (oblique) had tests at the NFL Scouting Combine that revealed a cyst in his spine, which was the root of his persistent oblique pain in 2025. The cyst was pressing on a nerve, causing discomfort in Nussmeier’s oblique. He has been asymptomatic since just before 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 two to three weeks while stitches heal. Either way, doctors say, there is no short- or long-term risk for Nussmeier.
