Carolina Panthers outside linebacker Nic Scourton suffered an apparent right knee injury during the team’s first training camp practice on Thursday, July 23, 2026, in Charlotte, North Carolina. The second-year pass rusher went down during full-team 11-on-11 drills on a wet grass field in rainy conditions after engaging with an offensive lineman. Practice was halted while athletic trainers and medical staff evaluated his right knee on the field. Scourton was visibly emotional as he was placed on a medical cart and taken to the indoor facility, with head coach Dave Canales and the entire roster gathering to offer support before his departure.
