It's become official. He's going to see a concussion specialist soon this week to see where and how he should proceed from here. Unlikely he'll be back for oakland, and Klein (if he's back from a concussion of his own) will have to fill his shoes. Otherwise, if Mayo is on the field, pray for the defesne

Carolina Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly did in fact suffer his second concussion in the past two seasons Thursday night, a source confirmed.
 
The Panthers had previously only confirmed that Kuechly is in the concussion protocol, which doesn't always mean a player has suffered a concussion.
 

Kuechly now is considering traveling to Pittsburgh this week to visit concussion specialist, Dr. Micky Collins, to get a second opinion on the injury and how he should proceed.

It's hard to imagine that Kuechly will be cleared to play Carolina's next game on Nov. 27 at Oakland. But Kuechly still is going through the process now as the Panthers deal with multiple concussions this season.

Trying not to be pessimistic and certainly not rooting for us to lose, but with two west coast games in a row and us basically having to win out to have a shot at the playoffs, I say put Luke on IR for 2016 and let him heal and be ready for next season. Hell, put TD on IR too while we're at it.

Remember the Seattle playoff game where our only RB was Hoover, because John Fox had put Stephen Davis on IR way too early?

Remember that year we were3-8-1 and still won our division?

It ain't over til it's over.

Crazy? what can you do given the circumstances? I'm not one to whine and cry against a brick wall hoping it will move out of the way. if our two MLBs can't play due to concussions the they can't play. might as well see what Mayor has for us.

The season is over. No one is winning the division with a losing record this year. The 2014 title was a once every 10-15 year fluke where everything fell a certain way. Even in that season, as this year, we were not winning a super bowl. IR him and hope he is ready (and willing) to come back full strength next season.

I would certainly not rush it and yeah he should just sit out the west coast trip.  With two concussions in two years you certainly err on the side of caution.  If we go out there and win both games or even one you reevaluate but even then I wonder if it is a good idea to play him this year.  His health is the most important thing.

      I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
