Michael Oher’s time with the Carolina Panthers has ended.
The team announced the release of Oher on Thursday afternoon, after Oher failed his physical. Oher had been in the NFL’s concussion protocol since September and finished the 2016 season on injured reserve.
Oher also missed voluntary organized team activities and met with team doctors during the first day of Carolina’s mandatory minicamp last month, but did not participate in workouts.
A source told the Observer that Oher does qualify for injury compensation.
This story will be updated.
