Panthers' Nic Scourton injured on first day of training camp

Carolina Panthers pass rusher Nic Scourton sustained a right knee injury during training camp on July 23, 2026. Scourton, who led the team in sacks last season, was carted off the field, prompting concern among teammates. Head coach Dave Canales did not confirm the injury's severity but noted that Scourton would undergo imaging to check for a possible ligament tear. This setback comes shortly after the Panthers announced starting right tackle Taylor Moton would be out for an extended period. Additionally, the team is already managing multiple injuries within the roster, impacting their defensive and offensive line depth going into the season.
