Just a day after Luke Kuechly was cleared from his concussion, it was revealed that another Panthers’ linebacker is dealing with the same type of injury.

A.J. Klein, who backs up Kuechly and started the last three games in his place, suffered a concussion in the Panthers’ latest win over the Buccaneers two Sundays ago.

Klein has been in the concussion protocol ever since and was limited in practice Wednesday.

But the good news on Klein, who’s scheduled to meet with an independent doctor later this week, is this:

If Klein is unable to go, the Panthers will have to re-think their approach behind Kuechly, who’s expected to be on a “pitch count” after sitting out four weeks.
