Star Practiced today

I don't think Luke will play Sunday

Prepare for the worst, hope for the best.  There's a chance he clears by Saturday.  Benjamin had that scenario last season.  Concussion in game, and cleared before the next Sunday.  All depends on the severity.  I'm pretty comfortable with Klein in the middle though, but obviously Kuechly is preferred.

This just came across... 

 

Sounds like Luke Kuechly is in 2nd phase of the protocol: gradual return to exercise. I would guess he'll be on the stationary bike today.

Bene and Norman seemed very confident in AJ Klein on last nights podcast. Of course they are going to be positive so take it for what it's worth, but they kinda went above and beyond the whole yeah he can play standard answer. 

There is obviously no replacing Luke Kuechly, but I feel good about AJ starting in his place if need be, especially if Star is back out there. 

Hoyer Mallett might die.

as i said in another thread, Luke being out is a big friggin blow, but having star back certainly will help us weather the storm.  Star is a partial reason that luke has had the success he has had, not taking away from luke but star is a mon-STAR in the middle of that defense.  Hes the only DT on the team that can consistently blow up double teams and is the most consistent at stopping the run.  KK is a beast as well,  but hes more of a pass rushing Dtackle more so than star.

    • What I really learned here is that the Carolina Panthers aren't anywhere near as bad as I initially thought they were earlier this year.  We've got a young and growing offense with some promising parts. But it still needs some tweaks and improvements.  We really still could still use a dominant #1 WR. But Chubba,  Legette, Coker,  and J.Sanders have generally looked decent. Bryce took a big leap after the benching. We can score enough points to keep pace with 2x defending super bowl champions, so offense isn't a huge issue. Main thing that needs improvement is defense. We sorely need a CB 2, and a number of new players at Dline and LB.  We're not quite as bad at edge with Wonnum showing promise.  But we definitely need 1 or 2 more edges Clowney is old.  Run D is probably worse prevailing theme these past couple years. We really need a good young stud or two to pair with Derrick Brown and another LB to pair up with Trevin Wallace. If Morgan and Canales can focus on rebuilding the defense this off-season and possibly going out and getting a #1 WR. This team could easily be somewhere around 7-10 to 10-7 and flirting with playoffs in 1 or 2 seasons. Overall this game has made me feel alot more positive about the direction of the team.
    • With our picks we need pass rush, lb, Safety, a speedster yac wr, o line depth and I still want a mid round qb. We got 9 picks and 8 in the first 5 rounds. If they pull Off another solid draft we be cooking. 
    • We had one passing touchdown against the Giants and one passing touchdown against the Chiefs today. Yes a good backup can replicate that. And that is why Andy Dalton in significantly less games has the same number of 30 point outings as Bryce Young. I am on board with you guys about wanting to be hopeful for the future. Today was a good performance to build on especially at home. But let's please keep things in perspective. BTW the Bucs who honestly aren't even that good blew the doors off the Giants today after we went to overtime against them with 17 points. Again. Perspective.
