He played the whole game.  There is LITERALLY nothing that is factual about him having a concussion that game.  

Stop it. You're embarrassing yourself.

Rivera has said he’s not sure when Oher was injured, although a source told the Observer that Oher likely sustained the concussion before the Week 3 game against Minnesota. Oher gave up three sacks and committed a holding penalty in the loss to the Vikings.

No FACTUAL evidence.  ALL speculation.  It could've been in practice for all we know.  

Show me some receipts, then, we'll talk.  

Edit: there wasn't anything about a concussion until that Friday.  Was he practicing with a concussion all week long?  When did the symptoms start?  ZERO, and I repeat, ZERO factual evidence.

Speculation based on solid premise. Everyone watching that game knew something was off with Oher. Do you really expect the Panthers to come out with an official statement that they failed to properly follow the concussion protocol? C'mon man. It's not that hard to put two and two together on this one.

Like I stated, you're speculating.  ZERO evidence shows he had it during that game.  Come on.  Michael Oher was trash in that game vs the Broncos X2, and he was facing another stout defensive line in the Vikings.  Do the math.

You guys could be finding an excuse for him.  I'll just go with his past performances for my judgment.

When have you been one to care about evidence?

People claiming he had a concussion during the Vikings game are doing less speculating than you. At least there are sources claiming that. I'm not aware of a single source actually refuting that claim. If he didn't, I would've expected the Panthers to come out with a very strong public statement refuting that claim. Instead, they clammed up to let the storm pass which is the smart PR move to make if you can't prove that he didn't have a concussion in that game. The last thing you want to do in that situation is have an investigation launched on your following of the concussion protocol if you know you don't have a leg to stand on.

To be fair, this is the same team that had Cam play four games with a torn rotator cuff when the games didn't matter.  I think that alone, should tell you something.  

Also, why wait until that Friday to say he has a concussion?  We literally heard nothing all week about Oher.  And he was actually practicing for the majority of the week.  That whole situation is just weird, man.
