Tallies eight tackles in loss

Luvu totaled seven-plus tackles for the sixth game in a row in Week 11. He also led Carolina's linebackers in defensive snaps (68) for the fourth consecutive week, and he's easily on pace for his second straight 100-plus tackle season heading into a Week 12 matchup at Tennessee.
Good to go Sunday

The 27-year-old linebacker out of Washington State logged limited practice sessions both Wednesday and Thursday, but he was able to return to full participation Friday, and it now seems as if he's moved past his hip issue. Luvu has recorded 51 total tackles, seven tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks through Carolina's first seven games of the year.
Double-digit tackles in first win

Luvu was questionable for Sunday's game with a hip injury he sustained in Week 6 against the Dolphins, but he was able to take advantage of the bye week to recover and suit up against the Texans. The injury didn't seem to hamper Luvu as he played on every single defensive snap and registered double-digit tackles for the first time this season. He leads the team in tackles (51) and is second in sacks (3.5) in seven games this season.
Questionable but says he'll play

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.
Limited at practice Wednesday

Luvu was forced out of Carolina's contest at Miami in Week 6 early with a hip injury, which is still nagging him even after a Week 7 bye. He'll likely need to practice in full Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.
