Panthers LB Kuechly: No plans to retire after 2nd concussion (Yahoo Sports)

Panthers three-time All-Pro middle linebacker Luke Kuechly said Wednesday he's not considering retiring from playing football after his second concussion in as many years. The 25-year-old has missed seven games in the past two years with concussions, including the last four this season. Kuechly defiantly said he's not concerned about the long-term effects of concussions, which had been linked to Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) in football players.
