Luke Kuechly (concussion) seen with helmet at Panthers' practice

Carolina Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly (concussion) appears to be practicing Thursday.

What It Means:

Kuechly was carrying his helmet while making his way to practice, which seems to indicate he will at least be a limited participant on Thursday. Barring any setbacks, it looks like the Panthers' star linebacker will be in action against the Chicago Bears on Sunday.

numberFire's models project Kuechly to record 8.6 tackles, 0.1 sacks, 0.2 pass deflections, 0.1 interceptions, and 0.1 recovered fumbles in Week 7. The Panthers currently rank 9th in schedule-adjusted Defensive Net Expected Points allowed per play.
