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.

      Yuck.  I still kind of like Herbert but these playoff performances are rough....

      I feel like this was the case with River and McDermott defenses as well, we just had the jimmies and the joes to overcome these deficiencies with all pro players at edge and linebacker positions.  Even then, was extremely frustrated in 2015 when we'd let team come back from 20+ pt deficits playing prevent only to barely win at the end.

      We need to move on soon and just use Bryce as a bridge to find our next guy. I'd like to see how this offense works with Canales hand picking his own guy. Bryce holds this offense back a lot considering you draft the first pick to carry your team and be your best player. We invested heavily for Bryce and need everything to go right just to have him look like a solid game manager sometimes. When he plays well he can look decent or mid, but when he plays bad he looks like a bottom 5 qb in league (backups included). It's not worth it, especially if we need to pay him soon, which means we have to skimp all over the roster. If the defenses don't hand it to us on a silver platter Atlanta style then we struggle big time. Defenses don't respect the offense at all. With Cam we could have the worst offensive talent and I'd still think we had a shot in any game we played. If Bryce is facing a 3rd and 10 I pretty much wave the white flag and don't think we can make that first down.
