LANDOVER, Md. -- Carolina Panthers Pro Bowl linebacker Luke Kuechly did not play in Monday nights 26-15 win over the Washington Redskins despite being cleared from the concussion protocol.It was the fourth straight game the 2013 NFL Defensive Player of the Year has missed since suffering a concussion in a Thursday night game against New Orleans.The organization has not said whether Kuechly will play in the final two games, but that is under consideration.The decision not to play Kuechly against Washington was made for his long-term health and because the Panthers (6-8) have only a 0.0004 percent chance of making the playoffs.Kuechly missed three games with a concussion last season.Coach Ron Rivera was adamant the past few weeks that if Kuechly was cleared, he would play.
