LSU QB reportedly missed scrimmage due to injury

LSU QB Garrett Nussmeier is very much in the mix to win the Tigers’ starting job, along with Jayden Daniels and Myles Brennan.

But, during a scrimmage on Thursday morning, Nussmeier wasn’t able to participate, doing some limited-movement drills on the sidelines.

Per LSU insider Brody Miller, Nussmeier suffered a minor ankle injury during practice this week, but isn’t expected to miss much time:

As reported earlier, Garrett Nussmeier was in pads and did some drills that required no movement but was primarily limited. Should be back soon. #LSU https://t.co/XliX271US1

Nussmeier appeared in 4 games last season, preserving his redshirt. He completed 29 of his 57 pass attempts for 329 yards, 2 touchdowns and 2 interceptions.

Can he work his way back into the QB1 battle when he recovers from the ankle injury? Or, will Daniels or Brennan be named the Tigers’ starter for a Week 1 matchup in New Orleans against Florida State on Sunday, Sept. 4?
