Nussmeier missed a few practice periods while his knee was bothering him, though it is not considered a long-term issue

LSU Tigers quarterback Garrett Nussmeier's injury on Wednesday was ultimately not as bad as the fanbase thought it would be.

Nussmeier joined Heisman Trophy winner Joe Burrow as the only players in program history to eclipse the 4,000-yard passing mark last year when he accounted for 4,052 yards and 29 touchdowns in his first year as a starter.
