Luke officially out with concussion as reason

[The Lobo]

This game will be a hard fought one. It will be close unless the O picks up

We didn’t give him an opportunity to get “cleared”.

He meets with the doctor Monday.

If he’s out next week, yeah I’ll join you in the panic...but given what we know and what he was able to do this week, I’m not concerned at the moment.

We don't know anything about it. What is know though this is the 3rd year he has been concussed. Chances are really high even if he comes back he will go out again with his job.

Luke should retire IMO. I'll retire right away this isn't something that will get better.

I'm also disappointed this won't get as much attention as Cam refusing to talk at a press conference

Let him smoke some dammmnn weeeed and he will fine!!!!

I’ve noticed Shaq plays better when he is playing TDs role, I wonder if we could just have TD be  Keek and Shaq be TD haha.

So let's see if I have the timeline right...Gets hurt...gets put in the concussion protocol....doesn't have a concussion....still hurt....limited practice yesterday....practiced today....officially out for the game Sunday....will see independent doctors Monday....Ron Rivera doesn't have a clue what's going on because he doesn't consult with doctors ever

I'm no expert...obviously...but the sequence of events seems to be a little off from what SHOULD happen.  If he is going to see independent doctors on Monday then why is he even walking out to practice let alone participating at any degree...still confused

Once in the protocol, stage progression is the team physician's call. Getting out of the protocol, final call is up to the independent neurological consultant. No conspiracy, no anomalies here.

Except.....he doesn't have a concussion.....so ummmmm

Panthers at times get a dangerous player and end up releasing him or he retires for some reason or another. Greg Hardy was one of the best in the game and we had to get rid of him because of his actions. Luke has had 3 concussions and may lose him to and there goes another great players. Panthers don't always get players that turn out like the ones I named. Why can't we get players all these other teams get and do well starting at rookie level. I know this has nothing to do with this post to.

I've explained this multiple times in numerous threads. For the last time, I hope, there is zero credible evidence that he didn't have a concussion. There is substantial evidence that he could have had one. There is a plethora of evidence that a concussion could not be ruled out (critical viewpoint in medical diagnosis). It is irrefutable that he is in the CONCUSSION protocol. End of the fuggin story, except it's not, and no one, at this point knows how it will play, or won't play, out.

Related note: There was already a narrative that the team is more careful and protective of Kuechly than Newton.

Fair? Don't know, but it won't shock me if this brings that topic up again.

Not going to lie if he does have a concussion then it's really time to consider retiring. No amount of money is worth damaging your brain more than you already have.

[Mr. Scot]

The last thing anybody wanted to see was Luke go down the same path as Dan Morgan.

I didn't think it would happen but now...

So 3 is the magic number?

Allegedly, it is in marriage. Still working on number two, so I wouldn't know.
