CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Pro Bowl outside linebacker Brian Burns will have a tough time clearing the concussion protocol in time for Thursday night's game against the Chicago Bears, Panthers coach Frank Reich said on Sunday.
Burns was diagnosed with a concussion in the fourth quarter of a 27-13 loss to the Indianapolis Colts that dropped Carolina to 1-7. The average number of days it takes to clear the league's five-step process for return to participation is nine, although it can be done in less.
