LSU quarterback Myles Brennan spoke to the media for the first time since suffering an abdominal injury against Missouri early last season. Brennan missed the remainder of the year due to what he called the strangest injury he’s ever had.
“Probably the strangest injury I’ve had, I saw a lot of doctors, we sent the MRI to NFL teams and professional baseball teams just to see if they had any advice and no one had ever seen an injury like this.”
This injury was so rare that his doctor said very few surgeries had been performed on this area of the body. Brennan says that’s ultimately why he decided to let the injury heal on its own.
“I had two options, I could either let my body heal on its own and take it a day at a time and if not he said “we could do surgery but I personally have never done surgery on this so we’d be naming the surgery after you if you wanted to.” I didn’t really feel comfortable with that so I decided to give my body healing on its own the time.”
Brennan is now back on the practice field and battling with quarterbacks Max Johnson, TJ Finley, and Garrett Nussmeier for the Tigers’ starting job. New offensive coordinator Jake Peetz will surely keep a close eye on the competition. Brennan says he’s developed a relationship with Peetz that goes beyond football.
“He calls me twice, three times a day just to check in, if I’m going home he’ll call me on the road and it’s beyond football, it’s about life, and school, and parents, and this and that which is very nice, I’ve never had that from a quarterback coach or an offensive coordinator before so that was very nice.”
