LSU fans received unfortunate news on Monday as reports surfaced that Myles Brennan was having surgery on his left arm due to an injury that occurred off campus. There’s been a lot of speculation as to how it happened and Myles’ dad Owen Brennan says the injury is the result of a fishing accident.
“He had all his gear in his hands and his flip flops got caught on a loose board on the dock, he tripped and wasn’t able to catch himself with his hands full, he fell on his left arm and broke his humerus bone.”
Myles was squarely in the mix to compete for LSU’s starting quarterback job this season and while a timeline for his return is still unknown, Owen says the plan is to start rehab as soon as possible.
“They’re going to actually get him in physical therapy on Friday, they’re going to start moving the left-arm and getting him into some physical therapy exercises, they said they will have Myles throwing the football in two weeks.”
While Myles and Max Johnson were locked in a tight battle to become the starter for the Tigers, Owen says Max’s dad Brad was one of the first calls he received about Myles.
“Brad Johnson was the first person that reached out to me when this hit the air waves and I can not appreciate him enough for that kind of thoughtfulness and dad to dad.”
