Speculation ran wild in Baton Rouge this week after LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier was reportedly helped off the practice field Wednesday. The noise began when unverified reports on social media suggested Nussmeier suffered a serious knee injury during a closed practice.

LSU coach Brian Kelly met with reporters to set the record straight on his quarterback’s health status.

Following a two-hour practice, Kelly addressed the media to address the reports surrounding LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier and a "serious injury" he had sustained. Kelly silenced the rumor mill by breaking down what his franchise signal-caller is dealing with. Nussmeier has patellar tendonitis and will be back at practice on Saturday.
