Newton: Panthers should sit Kuechly, not jeopardize future (Yahoo Sports)

Cam Newton said it makes no sense for the Panthers to play three-time All-Pro middle linebacker Luke Kuechly the remainder of the season following his second concussion in two years. The Panthers (6-8) host the Atlanta Falcons on Saturday and close the regular season at Tampa Bay on Jan. 1. ''Luke is a person that could potentially to be the greatest linebacker that has ever played - straight up,'' Newton said.
