Panthers LB Luke Kuechly says he’s done talking – and worrying – about his concussions

Carolina Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly says he feels good, and that’s all there is to it.

Kuechly seems ready to move on for good after a concussion during a Thursday Night Football game against the New Orleans Saints on Oct. 16 kept him in the NFL’s three-step concussion protocol for three weeks in 2016. He was held out an additional three weeks (the last three games of the season) by the medical staff and by head coach Ron Rivera, even though he had cleared the protocol.

The concussion was Kuechly’s second in as many years, but he made it clear he’s not approaching his football career any differently, and that he wants to move on from the discussion about it.
