Panthers Address Michael Oher's Deleted Instagram Post Showing Pills

Carolina Panthers general manager Dave Gettleman said Friday the health of injured left tackle Michael Oher is the team's "No. 1 priority," according to Bill Voth of the Panthers' official website. 

"Our No. 1 priority is a healthy Michael Oher," Gettleman said. "This is not about football, this is about Michael."

On Friday, Oher—who has been in the NFL's concussion protocol for eight months—deleted an Instagram post that showed several prescription pill bottles with the caption "All for the brain smh," as captured by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Ollie Connolly:

"I don’t know if Michael posted that photo or not," Gettleman added, per Voth. "Regardless, my primary interest is Michael's health."

Oher, 31, appeared in three games last season before he was sidelined indefinitely due to concussions. 

According to the Charlotte Observer's Joseph Person, Oher's status for next week's mandatory minicamp is unclear.

Meanwhile, Gettleman told Voth "communication has stopped" between Oher and the front office after the two sides met on May 5.
