When Jon Beason returns to the Panthers lineup in Week 7, hell be back at middle linebacker, according to a report from the Charlotte Observer. The three-time Pro-Bowler missed Sundays game against the Seahawks with shoulder and knee injuries; he said he aimed to stay in the middle when he returns after the bye week:
Thats whats been communicated to me, so Im sticking with that, Beason said Monday. Ive been playing the Mike thus far, and I dont anticipate anything different.
Rookie Luke Kuechly started in Beasons place and had one of his best games with 11 tackles and an interception. Kuechly, a first-round draft pick out of Boston College, set NCAA tackling records as a middle linebacker but said he doesnt mind moving to the weakside where he played before Beasons injury:
Nah, Kuechly said. Well see what happens in the bye week. It doesnt really matter too much to me. Source: Sports Illustrated Attached Thumbnails
