Fans immediately thought of the two concussions he suffered that shortened his 2016 season.
Now Luke is out? I wish I could go back and find my every- week tweet about Panthers big injuries. Utterly devastating.

Even some Eagles’ fans, appreciating the talent of Carolina’s linebacker, were hoping he was OK.
As much as I want my eagles to win I'm hoping @LukeKuechly is ok, the guy can flat out ball one of my favorite players to watch in the NFL

Prior to the play, Kuechly was having a monster game and certainly getting the attention CBS color man Tony Romo, the former Dallas Cowboy quarterback.
Tony Romo says “10 times a game” he would hear Luke Kuechly calls out the exact play he was about to call.

“Man should I change it???”
Since Luke Kuechly entered the NFL in 2012, no other Linebacker has more tackles or interceptions that him. #KeepPounding
