CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers starting left tackle Michael Oher has entered the concussion protocol and will miss Sunday's game at Atlanta.
"At the end of the week it's a big deal, because for the most part you've game-planned already,'' coach Ron Rivera said following practice.
Rivera said he was on his way to a meeting Friday when head trainer Ryan Vermillion notified him that Oher was experiencing symptoms of a concussion. He wasn't sure when Oher received a blow to the head that could have caused the symptoms, or if it was a non-football injury.
