The True Story Behind The “Blind Side”

Michael Was Released From The Panthers Over Health Concerns

Michael played with the Baltimore Ravens for five years. He was with the Tennessee Titans before moving on to the Panthers. In July 2017, the veteran offensive tackle was released with a failed physical designation. His coach Ron Rivera said: “The most important thing is his health. Our only concern is him getting healthy. Michael’s health always came first. We were not going to force the issue. Michael understood and we expressed that to him.” Michael struggled to recover from a concussion he received the previous season. Michael tweeted in July: “The Brain is a scary thing. You have to be careful with it.”
