CHARLOTTE – Guard Trai Turner was placed in the concussion protocol following Carolina’s victory over Minnesota.
“On Monday, he came in and talked to (head athletic trainer Ryan Vermillion) and they put him right into the protocol,” head coach Ron Rivera said.
Turner was not at practice Wednesday. The two-time Pro Bowler hasn’t missed a game since his rookie year in 2014.
While Turner is in the protocol, the Panthers are evaluating their options for a replacement, which include Amini Silatolu, Tyler Larsen and rookie Taylor Moton.
“We’ll work those guys and just kind of go through it and see,” Rivera said.
