                    The veteran safety inked a deal to return to Carolina after struggling in the 2024 season, during which his role was eventually limited to special teams. He recorded just 30 total tackles and two pass defenses over 10 games. However, with the departure of Jordan Fuller this offseason, Scott is likely to serve as the Panthers' top free safety to begin the 2025 campaign. Still, don't be surprised if Demani Richardson or Lathan Ransom take most of his reps by the end of the year. Read Past Outlooks                
                                        
                                    Tending to groin injury
Scott did not participate in Wednesday's practice due to a groin injury.
				ANALYSIS
Scott recorded a season-high eight tackles (five solo) during the Panthers' Week 8 loss to the Bills while playing 62 of 63 defensive snaps. He likely sustained his groin injury at some point during the Week 8 loss, but he'll have two more opportunities to return to practice and avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Packers.

		            The Panthers prioritized strengthening their safety room this offseason by adding both Jordan Fuller and Scott on one-year deals. Scott, who appeared in all 17 games for the Bengals last season, logged 57 tackles while playing 52 percent of the team's defensive snaps. The 29-year-old projects to be Carolina's top rotational safety in 2024 behind both Fuller and Xavier Woods.
