  • Announces retirement

    Kuechly announced his retirement from the NFL on Tuesday.

    Analysis: The 28-year-old just completed his eighth consecutive season with 100-plus tackles and has been the heart and soul of Carolina's defense, and his retirement certainly comes as a surprise, though his concussion history is well documented. Kuechly received All-Pro honors seven times -- five First Team -- and totaled 1,092 tackles, 12.5 sacks, 18 interceptions and seven forced fumbles in 118 career games, all with the Panthers.

  • Places fifth in tackles

    Kuechly, who made six tackles in Sunday's 42-10 loss to the Saints, finishes up the 2019 campaign with 144 stops (81 solo) and two interceptions in 16 games played.

    Analysis: Kuechly's total saw him finish fifth league-wide in tackles and surprisingly marked his best tally since 2014. Of course, the All-Pro linebacker had dealt with injuries since then, but in playing all 16 games for the second straight season, Kuechly again led the Panthers in stops. Unlike years prior, however, he didn't make any sacks but did defend a career-high 12 passes, including a pair of interceptions. The 28-year-old is under contract for two more years in Carolina, where he figures to…read more

  • Makes six stops

    Kuechly made six tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 38-6 loss to the Colts.

    Analysis: Kuechly was also credited with two quarterback hits, but Carolina's defense offered little resistance overall. It'll look to close the campaign with an improved showing, but Week 17's matchup against the high-powered Saints offense doesn't appear favorable.

  • Big day versus Seahawks

    Kuechly made 17 tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Kuechly registered nearly three times as many stops as all his teammates, turning in his best statistical performance in a while. The linebacker also hit opposing quarterback Russell Wilson twice, showing no signs of slowing to end this season.

  • Piles up tackles

    Kuechly posted 11 tackles (eight solo) and a pass breakup in Sunday's 40-20 loss to the Falcons.

    Analysis: Kuechly posted his fifth double-digit tackling performance of the season, bringing him to 114 stops on the season. While it will be tough for him to reach a new career high in the category this season -- his current best is 165 stops during his rookie season -- Kuechly's in prime position to put up his best number since the 2014 campaign.

  • Posts seven stops

    Kuechly made seven tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 29-21 loss to the Redskins.

    Analysis: Kuechly has now gone five straight games without hitting double digits in tackles, an uncharacteristic stretch for the All-Pro linebacker. Although he defended a pass Sunday, putting him two away from a new career high, Kuechly's declining tackling rate has hurt his traditionally high IDP value.

  • Just six stops

    Kuechly made six tackles (three solo) and defended two passes in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: Kuechly has now gone four weeks in a row without hitting double figures in stops, which is surprising for a player of his caliber. On the bright side, he's shown well in coverage, as he's now defended nine passes this season, putting him three away from a new career high.

  • Ties team lead

    Kuechly finished with eight tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 29-3 loss to the Falcons.

    Analysis: Kuechly tied teammates Tre Boston and Eric Reid for Carolina's team lead in stops, bouncing back after a couple underwhelming outings by his standards. The linebacker now sports 90 tackles through 10 games this season.

  • Another down week

    Kuechly finished with just four tackles (one solo) in Sunday's 24-16 loss to the Packers.

    Analysis: Kuechly has now been uncharacteristically quiet in back-to-back weeks, as he's totaled just 10 tackles in Carolina's last two games. That decrease in pace leaves Kuechly's season tally at 82 stops through nine outings, but he still leads the Panthers in the category.

  • Relatively quiet in win

    Kuechly finished with six tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 30-20 win over the Titans.

    Analysis: Kuechly matched his season low in stops, with both of those six-tackle outings coming over the past three weeks. Although he also defended a pass Sunday, he'll look to up his tackling output to its usual level Week 10 at the Packers.

  • Gets another pick

    Kuechly made 10 tackles (nine solo) and intercepted a pass in Sunday's 51-13 loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: Kuechly has now picked off a pass in consecutive games, adding extra value to his usually high tackle tally. The linebacker again paced the Panthers in stops Sunday, bringing his total to 72 through seven games this season.

  • Grabs an interception

    Kuechly made six tackles (four solo) and picked off a pass in Sunday's 37-26 win over the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Kuechly posted his lowest tackling output of the season, but compensated by defending a pair of passes, including his interception. As the Panthers now enter their bye week, Kuechly leads the team with 62 stops to go with five passes defended and his one pick, but he has yet to record a sack.

  • Hits double digits again

    Kuechly logged 12 tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 34-27 win over the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Kuechly led the Panthers in stops once again and also defended a pass for good measure. Through five weeks, the linebacker now sports 56 tackles, topping the league in the category.

  • Makes 10 tackles

    Kuechly posted 10 tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's 38-20 win over the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Kuechly trailed only Shaq Thompson for Carolina's team lead in stops. Following a massive, 18-tackle performance in Week 2, Kuechly's second straight game in double digits now brings his total to 36 stops through three games.

  • Racks up 17 tackles

    Kuechly had 17 tackles (eight solo) and two tackles for loss, including one for a safety, in Thursday's loss to the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Kuechly also had a pass breakup as he once again played every defensive snap. The 28-year-old looks to be his usual self through the first two games of the season.

  • Makes eight stops

    Kuechly finished with eight tackles (four solo) and defended a pass in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: Kuechly also shared a tackle for loss in Sunday's performance, which saw him play all 77 defensive snaps.

  • Makes preseason appearance

    Kuechly made one tackle in Thursday night's 10-3 preseason loss to the Patriots.

    Analysis: Kuechly sat out Carolina's first two exhibition tilts but was featured for 19 snaps in Thursday's outing. That experience should now have him fully prepped for the regular season, when he'll look to put together a seventh Pro-Bowl campaign as the heartbeat of the Panthers defense.

  • Likely playing Thursday

    Kuechly is expected to play in Thursday's preseason contest at New England, Max Henson of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Kuechly was removed from an early training camp session after he was caught in a pileup, spurring concerns about his notable history with concussions. An ensuing absence from practice was then called a scheduled day off by coach Ron Rivera. Kuechly didn't take the field during the Panthers' first two exhibitions, so an appearance Thursday will be his first in the defense's new 3-4 alignment. There's not much worry about a downtick in his tackle count, which has dipped below a 145-stop pace (per…read more

  • Ruled out for preseason opener

    Kuechly will not play in Thursday's preseason opener against the Bears.

    Analysis: Kuechly reportedly suffered a head injury that forced him to leave practice last week, but it was never considered serious and the linebacker never entered concussion protocol. While he has practiced since, the Panthers are going to be extra cautious with their leader on defense.

  • Routine day off

    Coach Ron Rivera noted that Kuechly's absence from practice Thursday was a scheduled day off, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Kuechly has endured concussion issues in the past, but he played all 16 games last season, en route to racking up a fantasy-friendly 130 tackles, to go along with two sacks, a pair of forced fumbles and an interception.

  • Sits Thursday's practice

    Kuechly is being held out of practice Thursday after leaving with an unspecified injury Wednesday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The Panthers appear to be taking an overly cautious approach here, as Keuchly will take a seat alongside several veterans. Consider the linebacker day-to-day as he recovers from what appears to be a minor injury sustained in a pile-up during Wednesday's session.

  • Leaves practice field early

    Kuechly (undisclosed) exited Wednesday's practice early, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Coach Ron Rivera attributed the star linebacker's early exit to "just being overly cautious" after he was caught in a pileup, according to Bill Voth of the Panthers' official site. Given Kuechly's history of head injuries, it's likely that the Panthers will continue taking a cautious approach to his participation in practice whenever necessary.

  • Finds himself in new role

    Kuechly is expected to occupy one of the team's inside linebacker positions in Carolina's new 3-4 defensive scheme, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Since coming into the league, Kuechly has made at least 100 tackles in each season, primarily while playing middle linebacker, where he was allowed to roam freely and not forced to directly take on blockers. Kuechly is still expected to be one of the top IDP options in 2019, but don't be surprised if his numbers take a slight dip in his new role.

  • Agrees to help cap situation

    The Panthers and Kuechly (undisclosed) agreed to convert $9.05 million of his base salary into a bonus, opening up $7.24 million in cap space for the current league year, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: After skipping the Pro Bowl due to an unknown injury, Kuechly arrived at Phase 1 of the offseason program earlier this week and proceeded to take part in both strength and conditioning work. With his health and pay structure determined, he can focus on extending his 100-plus tackle streak to eight seasons to begin his career.

    Kuechly (undisclosed) did not play in Sunday's Pro Bowl due to an injury, Grant Gordon of NFL.com reports.

    Analysis: The specifics surrounding Kuechly's situation aren't clear, but there's been nothing to suggest the linebacker is nursing a severe injury. He was replaced by Cowboys rookie Leighton Vander Esch.

  • Leads team in tackles

    Kuechly finished the 2018 regular season with 130 tackles (93 solo), two sacks, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and one interception in 16 games played.

    Analysis: Kuechly played his first full season since the 2014 campaign, easing recent concerns over his health. In suiting up for all 16 contests, Kuechly comfortably led the Panthers in tackles and ranked eighth league-wide in the category. While his per-game tackling average was slightly below his career mark, Kuechly still hit double figures on seven occasions. With a hand in forcing a few turnovers as well, Kuechly maintained his status as an elite IDP option. Although he'll miss long-time running…read more
