Panthers sign Cam Gill after Nic Scourton sidelined with knee injury
Carolina added former linebacker Cam Gill to replace Nic Scourton, who suffered a right-knee injury during the first training-camp practice.
Carolina Panthers linebacker Nic Scourton was placed on the injured list after injuring his right knee in the team's first practice of training camp on Thursday. The club quickly moved to fill the roster spot, announcing a deal with veteran outside linebacker Cam Gill. Gill, 28, previously spent a season with the Panthers in 2024, recording 22 tackles and four quarterback hits over 10 games. He most recently played for the Louisville Kings of the United Football League, where he posted a league-best 11 sacks in 10 contests and was named the league's 2026 Defensive Player of the Year. Over his career, Gill has appeared in 50 regular-season games with the Buccaneers and Panthers, compiling 51 tackles and 2.5 sacks.
"We are pleased to bring Cam back and believe he can contribute immediately," a Panthers spokesperson said.
