If he got a concussion idk how looked like he got the wind knocked out of him badly. No replay showed any hit to the helmet. Confusing

concussion might have happened the previous play.

hyperventilation is also a body's response to head injuries. hyperventilating an intubated patient will lower cranial pressure, for example.

Considering the blatant hold on Coleman about 3 plays before that, the defense should not have even been on the field at that point. The NFL in the obvious decree to the officials to keep games close is ruining the product. I hope like hell that Luke is ok, but I would completely understand if he walked away.

From somebody who has had three concussions, including one that had me freak out like that, that's a concussion. Can see it in his eyes. The trauma mixed with the confusion and fear of "what just happened?" is all over his face. Sit him until he's 100% for sure, so at least a month. Just my opinion.

Feel free to tell me to fug off, but why in the world would you choose "lightsout" as your username after having so many concussions? There is some irony in that somewhere.

Just got my first this weekend while playing flag football. Very minor head contact if any and I lost all short term memory and couldn't retain any information past 30 seconds or so. That jolt from the change in momentum is all it takes. Its scary stuff, especially if it made him just completely break down like that.  With his history and his position, this is very worrisome.

Man, this season just blows.

I saw everything up through the saints first fg while down by 20 in the 4th qtr, then i went comatose.  I woke up this morning realizing i fell asleep on the game and expecting to check in and see some great news, because surely we didnt blow it again?  Right?

And worse than blowing the lead, I find Luke was carted off for a possible concussion and see the video of him sobbing...  part of me wishes we just forfeited all of 16 before it even started.

From the video, it doesnt look like that play would cause a concussion, but then seeing his reaction afterwards, I dont see how it could be anything bu a concussion. Ron said in his presser afterwards when asked about the crying that it could be because Luke is just a guy that loves to play and compete.  And i could believe that, but that was an awfully blank stare he had combined with a distraught, worried, and almost child-like fear.  It was distrubing to see.

Then again, someone else mentioned the possible blow to the torso and it could've been a sternum injury.  Ive read about people suffering a bruised heart from such blows and that it momentarily could stop breathing.  I also heard Jeff Fisher say once that Steve McNair told him he was retiring after suffering his broken sternum.  So, it may have just been that scary for him.  

Either way, it was distrubing, and i certainly hope it wasnt a concussion.  Tough to watch.  Get well soon, Luke!

Regardless it was painful to watch.  Kinda makes football seem pointless. It wasn't fun this season anyway and now the best player in the NFL won't be playing for a while. He was one of the few reasons I tuned in. The guy gives 110% every time he steps on the feild regardless of the score.

I would have rather blown the 20 pt lead and lost the game than lost Luke for the rest of his career.  Really sucks and we'll grieve if he walks away but in the end he needs to do what's best for him.  Hopefully it looks worse than it really is.  Tough to watch.

I'd take a season ending sternum injury 100/100 times over another concussion. It's not the Panthers without Luke.

back of his helmet as he fell down.  It's scary that a hit like that could cause a concussion...meaning this could be something that could become more regular for him.  We might be smart to lock down Klein in the offseason.  Regardless, I pray he's alright, if he stays healthy, he will make it to canton.

I doubt that was what caused it.  It was likely a culmination of hits throughout the game and then the running back unloaded on him and through him backwards which triggered the full effect.  How do you think it was TD grazing his helmet?  

[PantherPhann89]

Shouldn't we wait until it's been confirmed that Luke has a concussion before we title a thread "Luke's 2nd concussion in two years..."?

In high school, I was the captain middle backer who jumped around and celebrated every big play we made. Sort of developed a signature "lights out" signal by crossing my arms above my head. Our defense embraced that and so we started striving for lights out defense. The school was still making and selling lights out shirts as of a few years ago, from what I heard. I made this account not long after high school, so that's the explanation.

But yes, it's ironic as hell.
