Panthers' Nic Scourton carted off after knee injury in first training camp practice

Carolina Panthers outside linebacker Nic Scourton was carted off the field with an apparent right knee injury during an 11-on-11 drill on the first day of the team's training camp. The injury occurred while the players were running a standard practice drill, and medical staff escorted Scourton off the field in a stretcher.

Scourton, a second-round pick in the 2024 draft, recorded five sacks, seven tackles for loss and nine quarterback hits in 17 games during his rookie season, playing on 68 percent of the Panthers' defensive snaps last year. Panthers head coach Dave Canales is expected to address the media after the practice concludes.
