Quick Hits: Burns' Injury, Assisting Thomas Brown, Corbett's Return + More

Carolina Panthers head coach Frank Reich met with the media for the final time ahead of Sunday's game.

If Burns landing on the injury report has any correlation to the trade deadline coming up

"No. No correlation. He had a little thing yesterday on a play where he hurt his elbow. He got it checked out. Today it was still an issue, so getting a further evaluation on that to see where we're at."

Frankie Luvu's presence

"He's an anchor. As a player, as a leader. His energy, his play is a big deal. We all see it, recognize it. When we have moving parts, he keeps everybody together. We're out there on the practice field and he's got energy on every play. I think we all feed off of that, see that. He's just a tremendous leader."

How much he'll assist Thomas Brown throughout the game

"I don't anticipate having to contribute a lot. I think the normal third down and red zone stuff, I'm good with Thomas calling that. There might be fourth down situations whether we're going for it, not going for it, and letting Thomas know, hey, we're in four-down territory. I'll interject those thoughts. I'm not saying there won't be a play or two I won't recommend here or there but probably more between series and stuff like that. Thomas is confident and ready to go."

What Austin Corbett brings

"Leadership. Consistent play at a high level. He's a real alpha leader. He just brings a confidence that you feel. You hear him out in the practice field between plays saying things that you know these great players, these leaders say. Looking forward to him being in the lineup."
