Luke Kuechly emotional after being carted off with injury
Luke Kuechly was emotional while being carted off the field following an injury suffered during the Panthers’ game against the New Orleans Saints on Thursday night.
Kuechly helped make a tackle of Tim Hightower on a first down run with around five minutes left in the game. The Panthers linebacker was down on the field immediately and received medical attention.
As he was loaded onto a cart to be taken away, Kuechly was seen with a very emotional look on his face. He appeared to be on the verge of tears:

The Panthers said Kuechly was being evaluated for a concussion. Kuechly missed three games last season because of a concussion — the only games he’s missed during his NFL career.
