  • Panthers' Frankie Luvu: Will play Sunday

    Luvu (quadriceps) is active ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports. Luvu has been dealing with a quadriceps injury since the Panthers' Week 16 loss to the Packers, but it seems as if this issue won't stop him from suiting up Sunday.

  • Panthers' Frankie Luvu: Questionable but says he'll play

    Luvu (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans, Joe Person of The Athletic reports. Per Person, Luvu said earlier in the week that he'll definitely play, so he's more likely than not to suit up. Still, the linebackers' status will need to be confirmed prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. EDT kickoff. Luvu exited Carolina's Week 6 loss to Miami due to the hip injury but had additional recovery time with the Panthers on bye in Week 7.

    Luvu (hip) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game at the Lions. As he did in Week 4, Luvu will play Sunday despite being limited in practice during the week. Carolina figures to see a healthy dose of the run in Week 5, so he should be relatively busy.

    Luvu (hip) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

  • Panthers' Frankie Luvu: Two sacks in loss

    Luvu recorded nine tackles (four solo) and two sacks in Monday's 20-17 loss to the Steelers. Luvu's nine tackles were a game-high and he is now up to 2.5 sacks through two games.

  • Panthers' Frankie Luvu: Out Sunday

  • Panthers' Frankie Luvu: Sidelined Thursday

    Luvu (shoulder) was listed as a non-participant on the Panthers' injury report Thursday. Luvu has dealt with a lingering shoulder issue over the past three weeks and appears to have taken a step back after logging a limited practice Wednesday. The 26-year-old linebacker has been available for each game this season despite this issue, recording 32 tackles, two passes defended and one interception. Luvu stepped into a full-time starting role after signing a two-year extension this offseason, so his absence would mark a significant loss heading into Sunday's game against the 49ers' dangerous rush offense.

The veteran also broke up a pass for good measure, turning in an excellent all-around performance.

  • Panthers' Frankie Luvu: Draws start in Week 5

    Luvu will draw the start with Shaq Thompson (foot) unavailable for Sunday's matchup against the Eagles, Jonathan M. Alexander of The Charlotte Observer reports. Haason Reddick will flip over to the strongside linebacker position, and Luvu will draw the start in Reddick's normal spot on the weakside. Luvu has five tackles and one sack through the first four weeks of the season, but he should see increased production as a starter in Week 5.
