What happened
Panthers edge rusher depth affected by Scourton injury
With Scourton sidelined, the Panthers will rely on Patrick Jones and 2025 third-round pick Princely Umanmielen to fill the gap at edge rusher. Jones, who signed a two-year $20 million deal last offseason, underwent season-ending back surgery after starting four games. Umanmielen appeared in 16 games as a rookie with limited production but showed potential based on college performance.
Panthers sign outside linebacker Cam Gill to replace injured Scourton
The Carolina Panthers signed 28-year-old outside linebacker Cam Gill to address the depth at edge rusher following Scourton's injury. Gill led the UFL with 10 sacks in 2025 and previously played for the Panthers in 2024 and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Panthers linebacker Nic Scourton diagnosed with torn ACL
Nic Scourton, a 21-year-old linebacker for the Carolina Panthers, suffered a torn ACL during practice. Scourton was a second-round draft pick in 2024 and started eight games in his rookie season in 2025. He will miss the entire 2026 season and undergo surgery followed by rehabilitation.
