Trial date set for Panthers’ Michael Oher’s misdemeanor assault case involving Uber driver

Carolina Panthers offensive tackle Michael Oher is scheduled to go to trial next month on a misdemeanor assault charge stemming from an altercation with an Uber driver in Nashville.

Oher, who has not been with the team during organized team activities this spring, is set to appear before a Davidson County (Tenn.) judge on July 21, according to an official with the district attorney’s office.

Oher, 31, was scheduled to appear in court Tuesday.

Oher gained worldwide fame with the 2009 release of “The Blind Side,” the movie that followed a best-selling book about Oher’s rise from homelessness to football prominence in his hometown of Memphis.
