Panthers defensive coordinator: Kuechly 'is perfectly fine'

Carolina Panthers defensive coordinator/assistant coach Steve Wilks says linebacker Luke Kuechly "is perfectly fine," according to the Charlotte Observer's Joe Person.

Wilks insists Kuechly was feeling a lot better Friday, less than 24 hours after suffering a concussion against the Philadelphia Eagles. It was the 26-year-old's third concussion in three years.

Head coach Ron Rivera addressed the situation earlier Friday, and said he's going to wait until Kuechly is no longer in the protocol before saying any more, according to Person.
