Panthers say they have no timetable for Luke Kuechly (concussion)

Carolina Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly (concussion) doesn't have a timetable for his return.

What It Means:

Despite this, Kuechly is expected to be able to return this season after Thursday night's emotional exit. The Panthers' star linebacker missed extended time last season due to a concussion, but this doesn't sound like an abnormal situation. Kuechly's backup A.J. Klein is also in the concussion protocol.

While not quite as impressive as last season, the Panthers defense has been playing well this year, and entered Thursday night ranked 10th in Adjusted Defensive Net Expected Points per play.
