Nic Scourton’s 2026 season is over.
The Panthers announced that they have placed Scourton on injured reserve on Friday. Scourton injured his right knee during the team’s first practice of training camp on Thursday and reports indicated that the linebacker tore his ACL. The Panthers did not confirm the nature of the injury, but moving him to season-ending injured reserve suggests that is the case.
Scourton had five sacks for Carolina as a rookie in 2025.
The Panthers also confirmed that they have signed 2026 UFL defensive player of the year Cam Gill. Gill had 11 sacks for Louisville this spring and will try to earn a role in Carolina’s plans to replace Scourton on their defense.
The Panthers also signed offensive tackle Derrell Bailey and waived guard Joshua Gray. Bailey went undrafted out of Georgia State this season.
