Carolina Panthers general manager Dave Gettleman expressed concern about offensive tackle Michael Oher after the 31-year-old posted and deleted a photo of several empty bottles with the caption: "All for the brain smh."
Oher promptly deleted the Instagram post, but Twitter users kept a screenshot:

Oher has been in concussion protocol since November and Gettleman appeared to be worried about the veteran tackle.
"I don't know if Michael posted that photo or not," Gettleman said to Bill Voth of the team's official website. "Regardless, my primary interest is Michael's health."
Gettleman said he met with Oher on May 5, but hasn't been in contact with him since.
"We really had a great visit. We talked for an hour, had lunch, it was a very comfortable conversation. We talked about a lot of things - nothing about football. It was about him, how he was doing and the issues he was dealing with," Gettleman said. "It started and ended well. And after we met, Michael did follow up for a few days. However, the communication has stopped.
"Our No. 1 priority is a healthy Michael Oher. This is not about football, this is about Michael."
Oher hasn't posted on Instagram since deleting the post in question.
