Panthers' Brian Burns: Picks up sixth sack in loss
Burns finished with four tackles (two solo), including a sack, in Sunday's Week 12 loss to Tennessee.
Burns' four stops tied his second-highest tally of the season, and his first-quarter sack of Will Levis was his first in three games. The fifth-year veteran has seen his numbers drop a bit with 6.0 sacks and 32 total tackles through 10 games after he posted career-high marks with 12.5 sacks and 63 total stops over 16 contests last year. Nonetheless, Burns is the only Panther with more than 3.5 sacks on the campaign, and he also leads the team with 11 tackles for loss.

However, he should still be considered questionable for the matchup at this stage of the week.

Head Coach Frank Reich inidcated Monday that Burns (concussion) will have a tough time clearing protocols for Thursday's matchup with the Bears, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
Burns was a non-participant at Monday's walk-through practice after being diagnosed with a concussion in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Colts.
