2025 Projections
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. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year contract with the Panthers in July of 2025.
Has collapsed lung
Scourton (chest) suffered a collapsed lung during Thursday's joint practice with the Texans, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The injury initially presented as heat exhaustion, but further tests revealed a more serious issue, which led to Scourton being taken to a local hospital. He was unable to travel with the team to Houston on Friday, but the good news was that he was cleared to be discharged from the hospital before returning to Charlotte. Scourton is considered week-to-week with the injury, which puts him in jeopardy of missing the Panthers' regular-season opener against the Jaguars on Sunday, Sept. 7.
