Carolina Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly is still in the concussion protocol, and is questionable to play against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Kuechly has practiced all week, but still needs to be cleared by an independent neurologist to play in Week 8. He has a lengthy concussion history. Kuechly is a difference-maker on defense if he is able to go.
In 2017, Carolina's defense ranks seventh by numberFire's schedule-adjusted metrics.
