Garrett Nussmeier Cleared Following Spinal Cyst Diagnosis

Tests at the Combine revealed a cyst on the spine of LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier, which doctors identified as the root cause of the oblique pain he managed throughout the 2025 season. Nussmeier has been asymptomatic since the Senior Bowl in late January and carries no further short- or long-term medical risk. His health status remains a key point of interest for teams like the Cleveland Browns as they evaluate prospects for the 2026 NFL Draft.
