FRISCO, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee was not watching Thursday’s game between the Carolina Panthers and New Orleans Saints, but he did see the replays of the injury suffered by Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly.
Carolina coach Ron Rivera said Kuechly is in the concussion protocol after taking a hit from Saints running back Tim Hightower. Kuechly missed three games last year because of a concussion.
“Obviously head injuries are tough, especially when it comes to a guy that I’ve got the ultimate respect for,” said Lee, who missed a game last year because of a concussion.
