The Panthers continue to make moves after the firing of general manager David Gettleman.
Panthers offensive tackle Michael Oher, who missed most of last season after suffering a concussion in Week 3, was released Thursday after failing a physical. The Panthers free up $1.69 million under the salary cap by releasing Oher. He had three years remaining on his contract after signing an extension last season
The move is far from a shock, but notably comes just two days after Oher staunchly defended Gettleman, who was fired Monday following four seasons in Carolina.
What comes next for Oher depends on his health. As for the Panthers, they’ll march into camp with left tackle Matt Kalil set to take snaps across from right tackle Daryl Williams.
