The Panthers placed Scourton (knee) on injured reserve Friday.
ANALYSIS
Scourton tore his ACL during the first practice of training camp, ending his 2026 season before it began. Cam Gill was added to the roster in the wake of Scourton's injury. The Panthers will also continue to monitor the edge-rusher market for additional help at the position.

2025 Fantasy Outlook
Scourton was one of college football's most productive edge rushers over his final two collegiate seasons, contributing as both a pass rusher and run stuffer. He tallied 29 tackles for loss and 15.0 sacks over just 21 games from 2023 to 2024. The Panthers ranked 30th in the NFL in sacks (32) last year, and Scourton's versatile athletic profile is expected to strengthen their edge-rush unit immediately.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Suffers ACL tear in first practice
Scourton suffered a torn ACL during the first practice of training camp Thursday, ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The injury to Scourton's right knee presumably ends the 2025 second-round pick's season. Scourton flashed plenty of potential as a rookie last season, recording 47 total tackles, including 5.0 sacks, one defensed pass and one forced fumble across 17 regular-season games. Scourton was engaged in a block with an offensive lineman and slipped on the wet field during team drills, immediately going down in pain.
