Panthers' Laviska Shenault: In concussion protocol

Shenault was placed in the league's concussion protocol Monday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

The veteran wideout is competing for the fifth receiver job in Carolina, along with Shi Smith and Damiere Byrd. Shenault has no ties to the new coaching staff so won't be guaranteed anything. Across 29 offensive snaps this preseason, Shenault has zero catches on three targets.
