Would Luke have played today if we didn't have a bye?

Anybody know? I don't know how this works during a bye week. I haven't heard anyone say that he's been cleared yet, so am I to assume this would have kept him out yet again today? If we get him against Seattle, that early bye week everyone was bitching about may be the best thing to happen to this team all year.

I don't think he's been back to the independent doctor yet. If we were playing he probably would've gone back this past week but since we were on bye he didn't. So we can't really know. My gut says he would've been back, but who knows. He still could miss the Seahawks game.

This is true. I don't know what has been keeping Luke from passing, but if it's been headaches, a long ass flight from Charlotte to Seattle sure won't help that.

Currently I say 50/50 he plays against the Seahawks, 70/30 he is back by Philly, 80/20 Indy.. I say he makes his return against Green Bay

Based on the extensive time you've spent analyzing Luke's head in person? Jesus christ man just get the fug out of here.

I know everyone is different but Sean Lee went out against NO with a concussion and played this week. Norman got one & played the week after, it's just weird. I know concussions are serious but got damn it seems like something else is up. Hope he's ok though. 

like any other injuries, there are different severities.

This coming from the guy who thought he might retire. Do your opinions on matters you know nothing about fluctuate wildly or is it just me?

According to reports, 3 weeks is the average for a linebacker. Now for you math majors out there, to get an average you add up all the numbers, then divide by how many numbers there are.  So, there could be LBs who've been out 6 weeks and some that came back the next week. Point is: nothing is up. There's no underlying injury. There's no pattern or trend, why? Because every human is different. There are so many factors that go into the decision to clear a player. The Panthers aren't "holding" him out. It's not up to them. When he's cleared by an independent doctor we'll know it AND THEN if the Panthers decide to hold I'm out or whatever, we'll know. There are rules in place to protect other teams against misusing the injury report, so the Panthers can't hold Luke out for a concussion if he's been cleared to play with no concussion symptoms.

Relax. He'll be back when he's cleared to play and he'll be "HANGRY!"

We ought to know by what, Wednesday or Thursday? Can we just hold off on the rampant speculation until we hear? Then we can all either celebrate or gnash our teeth in anguish.

he will visit the independent tomorrow, we will know if he is playing if he pratices tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

    • fuging Christ dude this isnt hard.  Like at all.  I get you simping for this poo team is your thing but sometimes you have to look at reality.   Even removing his bum knee from the equation, none of this made sense.  He is 31.  He has been paid handsomely for his service here.  He was currently under contract for this season.  Why in the holy fug did anything have to be done 2 weeks before the season started.   The people for this move, in this thread are saying A) He deserved it (this is the nfl it doesnt work like that  B) It frees up cap space (then why in the fug didnt we do this in Feb or C) You logic (We are getting a deal at 53 million guaranteed for the next 3 years.   You realize with this deal we cannot cut or trade his ass for 3 years.  You understand this right?   So in my opinion we should have let this ride into the offseason and go from there, what he is going to threaten to walk, big fuging deal he would be 32 on a chronically bad knee, what other moronic franchise is going to give him 40 million up front?  It wasnt going to happen.   And you are acting like its impossible to replace a 32 year old RT with a bum knee.  Just go and draft someone, move Icky to RT.  There are tons of options instead of extending this dude 2 weeks before the fuging season.  The truth is Morgan and the shitheads in the FO fell for this dudes crying act and got all sentimental and shelled out another ext.  We are a poverty ass franchise that doesnt act professionally
    • Amazing what the prospect of being traded to Carolina will do for contract negotiations. 
    • 5 Im glad football is back but after the embarrassment that was the browns pre season game where our starting D made Sanders look like a serviceable NFL QB, I lost hope again for a successful Panthers campaign this year.  I do hope I’m wrong!
