Correct me if I’m wrong but if he were in concussion protocol I don’t think he’d be at meetings today?

That sounds right to me. Having meeting is definitely not resting your brain so it can heal.

Hasn't Vontez Burfict had like 15 concussions in his career? He keeps coming back. This is really great news to hear about Luke. 

 

Not a very good example. Luke and Burfict can't be rationally used in the same sentence, unless you're comparing opposites. I only found three reports of NFL concussions for him with one additional possible event. However, there probably have been 15 instances of fines and egregiously dirty plays, many of which would be felonies off the field and carry a sentence of 15 years, so there's that.

Somewhat besides the point but its disappointing that the Q collar failed to prevent the concussion. NFL definitely needs to develop some form of wearable tech to reduce concussions and other TBI.

Guy doesn't have much to lose as it is. Great player but a total headcase.

That would explain a lot

Newton is the one we need to be worried about. His shoulder got fuged up last night, Im still convinced he messed something up in it.

Hearing that Luke's completely fine; concussion protocol was simply precautionary. Dodged a bullet.

dman straight, then its a non issue.  the collar thing is still doing its job and everything is okay

Probably brusided it , the long week came in at the right time .The coaches should make the OL take extra run blocking reps

We've got some time to rest and regroup for the Bears.

I hear ya on this.  I was at the game so didn't get the hear the commentary or see replay's on some of those weird nowhere near the wr throws in the 4th Qtr or so.  I was wondering either wr ran wrong route, cam read it wrong, or his shoulder.

I’m friends with someone who spoke to Luke on the phone today (they are friends)

Apparently Luke didn’t even bring up the concussion   And as they were getting off the phone my friend said something like ‘we’ll go.see that (referring to blade runner 2049) when you get better’ and he responded with something to the tune of I’m fine.

So take that as you will.

Great news!  Thanks for sharing that.

FWIW I got news from a reliable personal source that he's fine and they just wanted to keep him out. Source is a friend, so I would never have posted it as "credible", but it matches what Wilks is saying so it's reassuring that he may be fine and they were being super cautious - which makes sense. 

Perplexing that 24 hours removed from being placed in the concussion protocol the Panther organization could be complicit with putting Luke back on the field.

If I'm Luke, (or perhaps Luke's family I insist he) I seek second opinions.

I'm not following

 What are you referring to? They don't hit the field the day after a game. Its typically Wednesday on a normal week. A day of meetings, film and Rehab/weights on day after game and then the next day is an off day.
