LSU head coach Brian Kelly spoke with reporters on Friday to update on Garrett Nussmeier's injury from practice on Wednesday.

Kelly said Nussmeier aggravated a preexisting case of patellar tendinitis, which they want to calm down, but he'll be fine.

Amputate it at the knee and strap on one of those EUC single wheel things. He'll be the fastest man on the field, and painful as hell to tackle.

Patellar tendonitis requires ice and ibuprofen. It is not a big deal. He will wear a knee brace and get a pain shot before games.

It actually requires a bit more than that. If not dealt with properly through eccentric loading after the acute phase it can develop into tendinosis which is a degenerative change to the tendon that places it at risk of being major issue. Not saying to freak out as I’m sure the medical team will do exactly what’s needed but I’ve and ibuprofen are not the standard of care, especially in a high level athlete at a major sports program.

I developed a case of severe tendonitis in my left wrist that hurt so bad and for so long that I had to give up playing golf for several years to allow it to heal. I'm still careful with it and worked with a pro to change my swing and grip to reduce stress, including putting cushioning grips on my clubs to reduce oscillation vibration from the shafts. Now I no longer get the feedback I used to get before when I strike the ball, but at least I can play now without sharp stinging pain in my wrist.

Nuss will be fine, just don't throw any dildos on the field when he's out there.

Question is mentally will it restrict his decision to run when needed. That is the biggest impact from this in my opinion.

Probably best to go ahead and amputate the leg so he doesn't think about it during a game.

It will not affect him mentally nor will it hinder is (ahem) ability to run when needed. Ice, drugs and compression will keep him fresh as a daisy. Now, in 20 years it'll likely restrict his decision to walk when needed but he'll be rich and retired by then so that's the trade off.

Hell football players have this type of tendonitis constantly, this is nothing. He can also get steroid shots to. It will keep him alert and a little pain does not hurt anyone. Lets you know your alive..
