Luke Kuechly suffers third concussion in last three years

Luke Kuechly left Thursday night’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles after sustaining a concussion, his third in the last three years.

Kuechly collided with an Eagles lineman late in the first half on a LeGarrette Blount running play inside the 10. He ended up being hit on his left side.

The Carolina Panthers linebacker left the game with what was initially an undisclosed injury. Then during the third quarter of the game, CBS’ Tracy Wolfson said Kuechly was being evaluated for a potential concussion. The team later announced Kuechly was in concussion protocol and out for the game.

Kuechly has a history of concussions and has missed nine games over the past two seasons because of them.
