FRANKIE LUVU NEWS

Full participant Wednesday Luvu was a full participant during Wednesday's practice, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Impact Luvu returned to practice as a limited participant last Friday but was still ruled out for Week 5 due to a shoulder injury. However, he appears to have moved past the issue completely and is on track to suit up in Week 6. Across four appearances, the veteran linebacker has totaled 32 tackles, two pass defenses and one interception, which he returned for a touchdown.

Out Sunday Luvu (shoulder) will not play Sunday against the 49ers, Steve Reed reports.

Listed as questionable Luvu (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Impact Although Luvu was unable to practice Thursday, he returned in a limited capacity Friday and will have a chance to play through his shoulder injury Sunday. Coach Matt Rhule said after Friday's practice session that he expects Luvu to play against San Francisco, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Sidelined Thursday Luvu (shoulder) was listed as a non-participant on the Panthers' injury report Thursday.

Impact 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.

Another big game Luvu finished with 11 tackles (six solo) and returned an interception 33 yards for a touchdown in Sunday's 26-16 loss to the Cardinals.

Impact Luvu opened the scoring with his pick-six, setting the stage for another outstanding individual performance. The veteran has posted double-digit tackles in two of Carolina's last three games and now leads the team with 32 stops on the campaign.

Will be available Sunday Luvu doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's contest against the Saints.

Impact Luvu was added to the injury report Thursday as a limited participant due to a shoulder injury, but the issue appears to have been minor as he returned to full practice Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Week 3. Luvu has racked up 16 tackles and one pass defense through two games and figures to continue garnering a major role in Carolina's defense.

Limited Thursday Luvu (shoulder) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Luvu is a new addition to the injury report Thursday, as he was a full participant Wednesday. A late week appearance on the injury report could be troubling, but he was also limited in practice last week for the same reason and still played Sunday against the Giants. If Luvu is unable to go in Week 3 against the Saints it'd certainly be a blow to the team's defense, while also leading to extra opportunity for Brandon Smith.

Busy against Giants Luvu finished with 10 tackles (all solo), including four for loss, and defended a pass in Sunday's 19-16 loss to the Giants.

Impact Luvu was extremely active Sunday, with almost half of his team-leading tackle tally occurring in New York's backfield. The veteran also broke up a pass for good measure, turning in an excellent all-around performance. With 16 stops through two games, Luvu looks destined to break last year's career high of 43 tackles, boosting his early-season stock.

Ready to go for Week 2 Luvu doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against the Giants, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Luvu was limited Wednesday and Thursday due to a shoulder injury, but he returned to full participation at Friday's practice and will be good to go for Week 2. The undrafted linebacker played 63 defensive snaps and recorded six tackles during the season opener and figures to garner a similar role against New York.

Limited at practice Wednesday Luvu (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice report, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Impact Luvu played 63 defensive snaps and recorded six tackles during the season opener and apparently picked up a shoulder injury as well. It's encouraging that he was able to get at least some work in, but if he doesn't return to full practice Thursday or Friday, his status for Week 2 may be in jeopardy.
