[Jon Snow]

Sounds like self defense to me.

Strength and conditioning is the focus of the first 2 weeks of OTAs. On field work happens after that.

And Oher is in the concussion protocol and can't participate in any of it. So why would he be there? I would assume he will have to show up for minicamp just after the OTAs.

"“He’s doing NFL workouts. He’s fully engaged in that weight room sweating his butt off,” Gettleman said. “He looks great, he sounds great. . . ."

He's not doing OTAs as it would be against the concussion protocol. I assume he will have to appear at minicamp since it is mandatory but unless he passes the concussion tests, he will not participate in those either. I think his status for the upcoming season will have to be determined during minicamp, otherwise, I wouldn't expect to see him in a Panthers uniform this year.

I think the difference is you are saying strength & conditioning are not part of OTAs and I believe they are.

Oher has cleared the first 3 steps, maybe 4 but we won't know until OTAs. If he shows up on  the field for non contact drills, we'll know he has cleared #4, then it will be wait for the independent neurologist review.

 

1. Rest and recovery: A player is removed from all team meetings, electronic devices and social media, focusing instead on simple physical activities like stretching and balance work. He leaves this phase when he returns to the "baseline" of signs and symptoms.

2. Light aerobic exercise: This includes riding a stationary bike or working on a treadmill without resistance. The NFL recommends 10 to 20 minutes of this per day, monitored by a trainer to see if concussive symptoms appear.

3. Continued aerobic exercise and introduction of strength training: The cardiovascular work increases in length and intensity, and strength training is added, with a trainer still monitoring for behavioral signs.

4. Football-specific activities: The player can return to non-contact football activities for up to a full practice.

5. Full football activity/clearance: Once the team and an independent neurologist clears a player to return, he can regain all the former responsibilities, including playing a full game.
