How rare was the abdomen injury suffered by Myles Brennan last fall?

Had the LSU quarterback opted to have surgery to correct the issue, the doctors were offering to name the new surgery that would be required after Brennan.

During his first media availability of the spring, Brennan was asked to detail what the last few months have been like for him.

“It’s been crazy, it was probably the strangest injury that I have had,” Brennan said. “I saw a lot of doctors. We sent the MRI to NFL teams, to professional baseball teams, to professional golf coaches, anything, tennis, anything with like the torquing of the lower abdomen – just to see if they had any advice.”

As if sending your injury to countless doctors to seek help wasn’t enough, Brennan noted that none of them could offer any experience regarding a similar injury.

“No one had ever seen an injury like this, in this exact spot that I had,” Brennan shared.

Instead, he was given the option to heal on his own or have an experimental surgery with no history of success.

“And so the doctor I went and met with here in Baton Rouge, pretty much told me that I had two options: I could either let my body heal it on its own, and take it literally a day at a time,” Brennan continued. “I know that’s very cliche for life, but it was literally a day at a time to see if my body would heal it on its own. And if not, he said we could do surgery, but I personally have never done surgery on this.

“He said we would be naming the surgery after you if you want it to. And I didn’t really feel that comfortable with that. So I was gonna, you know, give my body healing it on to him the time.”

That sounds terrifying.

Now we know why Brennan never saw the field again after being injured against Missouri last season.
