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.

"I've been having to go back from the ground up and retrain myself and get back to finishing throws and rotating through the ball. I'm actually using my core now." He completed 67.4% of his passes for 1,927 yards and 12 TDs in 2025 before shutting it down.
