  • Enjoys breakout campaign

    Luvu made 111 tackles (76 solo) and seven sacks while forcing a fumble and returning an interception for a touchdown across his 15 games in the 2022 season.

    Analysis: Luvu was one of the Panthers' breakout players, dramatically increasing his production after only 43 stops in 16 games last year. The 26-year-old boasted just 7.5 career sacks prior to this season, and Luvu surpassed his previous career total of passes defended with four in 2022. Under contract with Carolina for one more year, Luvu's stock has never been higher.

  • Team-high eight stops

    Luvu logged eight tackles (seven solo) during Sunday's 23-10 win over the Broncos.

    Analysis: Luvu finished as the leading tackler for the Panthers' defense, which held Denver without a touchdown until late in the fourth quarter. The linebacker also played every defensive snap for the second time in the last three games, and he has now totaled 30 tackles and three sacks over this span.

  • Questionable against Falcons

    Luvu (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

    Analysis: Luvu sandwiched a full practice Thursday between limited sessions Wednesday and Friday. He played through the shoulder injury in the Week 7 win over Tampa Bay after sitting out a pair of games, so the starting linebacker will likely suit up against Atlanta barring a setback.

  • Active Sunday

    Luvu (shoulder) will play Sunday versus Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: Luvu missed Weeks 5 and 6 with a shoulder injury, but he logged two limited practice sessions this week before participating in full Friday. He should return to his starting role as Carolina's defense attempts to slow down Tom Brady and company.

  • Limited in practice

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

    Analysis: Luvu has been dealing with a shoulder injury since Carolina's season opener and was sidelined the past two weeks as a result. The 235-pound linebacker was a limited participant in practice last Thursday and Friday, and he once again logged back-to-back limited sessions to open Week 7. Luvu will have one more practice to improve his status before this Sunday's divisional matchup against Tampa Bay, and he should step back in as the Panthers' starting strong-side linebacker when healthy.

  • Out Sunday

    Luvu (shoulder) will not play against the Rams on Sunday.

    Analysis: Luvu was able to log a full practice Wednesday, but he regressed to limited participation Thursday and Friday. This will be his second straight absence and will leave the Panthers without one of their best defensive players.

  • Questionable for Week 6

    Luvu (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Luvu was a full participant in practice Wednesday but was limited Thursday and Friday. He was unable to take the field in Week 5, but it's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Sunday's Week 6 tilt. If the 26-year-old is unavailable, Cory Littleton and Brandon Smith should handle increased roles against the Rams.

  • Regresses in practice Thursday

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

    Analysis: Luvu has been dealing with a lingering shoulder injury since mid-September and was ruled out for the first time this season in Week 5. The 26-year-old linebacker returned to practice in full Wednesday, though it appears this injury has flared back up given his limited participation Thursday. Luvu recorded 32 tackles, two passes defended, an interception and a forced fumble over Carolina's first four games, and he'll have one more practice to improve his health before Sunday's game against the…read more

  • Full participant Wednesday

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

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: Luvu logged a limited practice Friday after being a DNP earlier in the week. However, the 26-year-old is still not quite healthy enough to play. In his absence, Cory Littleton and Brandon Smith will be called upon to pick up the slack against San Francisco.

  • Sidelined Thursday

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

    Analysis: 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'…read more

    Analysis: Luvu was limited by a shoulder injury during Thursday's practice session, but he was a full participant Friday and will be available for Week 4. The 26-year-old has totaled 21 tackles (19 solo), a forced fumble and a pass defense over the first three weeks of the season.

  • Will be available Sunday

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

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: Luvu played 63 defensive snaps and recorded six tackles during the season opener, apparently picked up a shoulder injury in the process. It's encouraging 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.

  • Back to active roster

    Luvu was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Luvu was placed on the COVID-19 list Dec. 4 and due to a Week 13 bye, he did not have to miss a game. He'll help provide depth to the Panthers' linebacker unit Sunday against the Falcons, but he makes his biggest impact on special teams, where he leads the team in tackles.

  • Placed on reserve/COVID-19 list

    Luvu (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday.

    Analysis: Luvu's addition to the COVID-19 list comes as the Panthers are on a bye week. so it's possible he could not miss any time. The four-year pro has played in all 12 games this season, mostly in a part-time role.

  • Draws start in Week 5

    Luvu will draw the start with Shaq Thompson (foot) unavailable for Sunday's matchup against the Eagles, Jonathan M. Alexander of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Analysis: Haason Reddick will flip over to the strongside linebacker position, and Luvu will draw the start in Reddick's normal spot on the weakside. Luvu has five tackles and one sack through the first four weeks of the season, but he should see increased production as a starter in Week 5.

  • Comes off COVID-19 list

    The Panthers activated Luvu (undisclosed) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Luvu will be able to rejoin teammates at training camp after spending just a few days on the COVID list. He's competing for a reserve spot on the regular-season roster.

  • Lands on COVID-19 list

    Luvu was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson reports.

    Analysis: Luvu was signed by the Panthers in March after averaging roughly 20 defensive snaps per game with the Jets in 2020. In Carolina, the 24-year-old is likely to see the majority of his work on special teams, but his spot on the roster may be in jeopardy if he misses an extended part of training camp with his new team.

  • Heads to Carolina

    Luvu signed with the Panthers on Tuesday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Luvu averaged roughly 20 defensive snaps per game with the Jets in 2020, recording 25 tackles, two sacks, a pass breakup and a fumble recovery across 13 contests. The 24-year-old should see most of his work on special teams in Carolina, but he could occasionally rotate in as an edge rusher, too.

  • Moves to active roster

    The Jets activated Luvu (groin) from injured reserve Saturday.

    Analysis: Luvu has shaken off the groin injury that he suffered in Week 6 against the Dolphins, and he'll return to the lineup for a road game against the Chargers on Sunday. The Washington State product will continue to add depth behind starting outside linebackers Jordan Jenkins and Tarell Basham.

  • Trending in right direction

    The Jets designated Luvu (groin) for a return off injured reserve Wednesday, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

    Analysis: Luvu was able to return to practice for the first time since being placed on IR on Oct. 20, as the team will have 21 days to officially activate him. The Washington State product could suit up as early as Sunday's game against the Chargers, but as long as Luvu is sidelined, Bryce Hager is the team's only healthy depth outside linebacker.

  • Heads to IR

    The Jets placed Luvu (groin) on injured reserve Tuesday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Luvu will miss the team's next three games, as he won't be eligible to return until Week 11 against the Chargers. He plays predominately on special teams, but his absence will hurt the Jets' depth at outside linebacker, as Jordan Willis will be the only backup behind Jordan Jenkins and Tarell Basham.

  • Forced out versus Dolphins

    Luvu will not return to Sunday's game against Miami due to a groin injury, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

  • Retained by Jets

    Luvu has re-signed with the Jets.

    Analysis: The exclusive rights free agent is thus set to reprise his reserve linebacker/special teams role with the team. Luvu logged 12 tackles and a sack in 13 contest for the Jets last season in that capacity.

  • Returns to Jets' 53-man roster

    Luvu was promoted to the Jets' 53-man roster from the practice squad Friday.

    Analysis: Luvu was on the active roster for the first five weeks of the season before being waived in mid-October, but he was immediately signed to the team's practice squad after clearing waivers. The 23-year-old will provide some much-needed depth at inside linebacker for Week 9 with Neville Hewitt (neck) doubtful, C.J. Mosley (groin) out and Blake Cashman (shoulder) placed on injured reserve.
