Panthers Defense Reeling Early | Carolina Panthers News

Carolina Panthers defense takes a brutal hit on day one of training camp as second-year standout Nic Scourton tears his ACL during drills — a devastating blow for a player who had 47 tackles and 5 sacks as a rookie and was poised to anchor a new pass-rushing duo with Jaelan Phillips. Scourton is expected on injured reserve and is reportedly seeking a second opinion, while teammates and coach Dave Canales rallied around him. The Panthers’ injury woes deepen with key starters like Taylor Moton (blood clot), Ickey Ekwonu (knee), Jaycee Horn (foot), and defensive tackles Wharton and Brown already sidelined — setting the stage for a rocky start to the season.
