Oher’s future with Panthers uncertain entering minicamp

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) Michael Oher’s future in Carolina remains uncertain as the Panthers prepare for a mandatory three-day minicamp beginning Tuesday.

The team’s starting left tackle during its Super Bowl season in 2015 has not had any contact with the Panthers in more than a month, making it unclear if he will attend the camp.

Attempts to reach Oher – the subject of the popular movie ”The Blind Side” – were unsuccessful and his agent Drew Rosenhaus declined comment on his client’s situation.

Oher’s whereabouts is just one of several story lines entering minicamp.

Quarterback Cam Newton is expected to begin throwing this week, rookie running back and first-round draft pick Christian McCaffrey will rejoin the team on Wednesday, and free agent pickup Julius Peppers could be back on the field after the team rested the 37-year-old free agent for most of OTAs.
