The NFL Players Association has opened an investigation into the Carolina Panthers regarding the circumstances of Nic Scourton's ACL tear during training camp. The injury occurred on July 23, the first day of camp, which is structured to prohibit live contact during the initial five days. The NFLPA will assess whether the Panthers adhered to the acclimation period rules outlined in the Collective Bargaining Agreement. If evidence suggests a violation occurred, the team may face consequences. Nic Scourton, a second-year edge rusher, was expected to have a breakout year but is now likely to miss the entire 2026 season due to the injury.
