The Carolina Panthers have placed Nic Scourton on injured reserve, a move that ends his 2026 season. The team announced the decision Friday, confirming that Scourton will not return this year.
According to the report, Scourton suffered a right knee injury during the Panthers' first practice of training camp. The setback came early in camp and quickly became significant enough to shut down his season.
By moving Scourton to injured reserve, Carolina clears an active roster spot while camp continues. It also means the Panthers will have to move forward without him for the rest of the season after losing him before the regular schedule could unfold.
For Scourton, the focus now turns to recovering from the knee injury after an abrupt end to his year. For the Panthers, the news adds another injury issue to manage as they continue training camp preparations.
