Carolina Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly (concussion) is out for Week 7 against the Chicago Bears.
Kuechly was concussed against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 6 and still hasn't passed the concussion protocol. His absence could be a big boost to the Bears' running game this week.
This season the Panthers defense ranks ninth overall according to numberFire's schedule-adjusted metrics, and 10th against the run.
