Kuechly (concussion) did not take part in Friday's practice, Joe Person of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Analysis:

Kuechly was on the sideline at Friday's session, but he did not have a helmet, and sat out of drills for the third day in a row. The Panthers will update Kuechly's status sometime Friday afternoon, but with him not practicing at all this week, it's looking like he will a second straight game.
