Luke Kuechly Out, A.J. Klein In, But Not A First For This Linebacker Tandem

With Luke Kuechly suffering his second concussion of his young career, A.J. Klein will once again be the one called upon to fill arguably the best linebacker in the NFL's shoes.

When Kuechly went out with a concussion in week one of 2015, not to return until Carolina's week five bye, Klein was called on to fill the void. There was an interesting trend in Klein's snap counts during the three games Kuechly was out. (Per Pro-Football-Reference)

WEEK 2 VS TEXANS- Played 66% of snaps in the win. 1 INT, 2 Tackles, 2 Assists.

WEEK 3 VS SAINTS- Played 87% of snaps in the win.
