Carolina Panthers offensive tackle Michael Oher never made it to the practice field during this week’s three-day minicamp, and it seems increasingly likely his time with the Panthers is nearing an end.
Oher reported to minicamp Tuesday and met with team doctors, but he was never spotted anywhere near the field. He remains in the concussion protocol nearly nine months after first reporting symptoms last September.
Panthers coach Ron Rivera shed little light on Oher’s situation, saying he had not spoken to him this week.
“They’re taking care of it,” Rivera said.

It was unclear whether Rivera was referring to the doctors, the front office or some combination.
