Carolina Panthers pass rusher Nic Scourton suffers likely season-ending injury

The Carolina Panthers face a significant setback as Nic Scourton, a key pass rusher, likely suffered a torn ACL during training camp on July 23, 2026. The injury occurred during a team drill on a wet field, leading to Scourton being carted off the field. Head coach Dave Canales expressed concern for the team's morale, highlighting the bond formed among players during intense training. As the Panthers had looked forward to pairing Scourton with offseason addition Jaelan Phillips to boost their defense, they have now signed Cam Gill to bolster depth in the wake of this injury. Scourton had a promising rookie season, contributing 47 tackles and five sacks over 17 games.
