LSU football OC Joe Sloan hopes for a big year from QB Garrett Nussmeier. Here's what Sloan said about Nussmeier's improvement.

Speculation ran wild in Baton Rouge this week after LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier was reportedly helped off the practice field Wednesday. The noise began when unverified reports on social media suggested Nussmeier suffered a serious knee injury during a closed practice.

Nussmeier returned as a full participant on Saturday morning, utilized legs despite patellar tendinitis diagnosis.
