Carolina Pantgers middle linr backer Luke Kuechly entered the concussion protocol following Thursday's win against the Saints, Joe Person of the Charlotte Observer reports.
Prior to his departure in the fourth quarter, Kuechly had accrued a season-best 14 tackles, and his TD return of a blocked field goal was only called back due to a block in the back.
With his return to action now dependent on the five-step protocol for head injuries, one must recall that he missed three games last season as a result of a concussion.
For a team on the outside looking in when it comes to the playoff picture, the potential downgrade from Kuechly to A.J. Klein could be the death knell for the defending NFC champions.
