The Panthers placed Scott (hamstring) on injured reserve Saturday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports. Scott will have to sit out at least Carolina's next four games as he works his way back from a hamstring injury sustained Week 7 versus Washington. With Jordan Fuller (hamstring) not yet ready to come off IR and Jammie Robinson (knee) ruled out for Week 8, the Panthers' safety corps will be deeply depleted versus Denver on Sunday.

The Panthers placed Scott (hamstring) on injured reserve Saturday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports. Scott will have to sit out at least Carolina's next four games as he works his way back from a hamstring injury sustained Week 7 versus Washington. With Jordan Fuller (hamstring) not yet ready to come off IR and Jammie Robinson (knee) ruled out for Week 8, the Panthers' safety corps will be deeply depleted versus Denver on Sunday.
Scott (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Broncos. Scott played through his hamstring issue in the Panthers' Week 7 loss to the Commanders, recording six total tackles across 68 total snaps (63 defensive and five on special teams). However, it appears he likely worsened his injury last week, as he was unable to practice all week and has now been ruled out for Sunday's contest. Expect Lonnie Johnson and Demani Richardson to see increased work in Carolina's secondary in Scott's stead.
Scott (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday. Scott played through the injury in Week 7's loss to the Commanders, so unless he aggravated the injury despite playing 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps, he'll likely be OK for Week 8. Further clarity on his status for Sunday's game against the Broncos will likely come Thursday or Friday.
Scott (hamstring) was a limited participant in Friday's practice and does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Commanders. Scott was limited in all three official practice sessions this week, but that may in part have been due to load management, as he's coming off three consecutive games having played 100 percent of defensive snaps. As long as his hamstring isn't hampering him, Scott will again be in line to handle an every-down role Sunday on the road against Washington.
Scott (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Scott likely sustained a hamstring injury in the Panthers' Week 6 loss to the Falcons, despite playing 100-percent of the team's defensive snaps and recording five total tackles. The first-year Panther's participation Thursday and Friday will likely be the best indicator of whether he can play through the issue in Carolina's Week 7 matchup against the Commanders.
Scott (shoulder) practiced in a limited capacity Friday and does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against the Bears, David Newton of ESPN.com reports. Scott played 100 percent of defensive snaps during Carolina's loss to Cincinnati in Week 4 despite entering the contest with a quadriceps issue, and he's now slated to play through a shoulder injury versus Chicago. As long as Scott continues to handle an every-down role, he figures to remain a viable flex fantasy option in IDP formats.
Scott (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. The first-year Panther played through a quadriceps injury during Carolina's Week 4 loss to the Bengals, but it now appears he's dealing with a different issue. Scott's practice participation Thursday and Friday will provide a better indication of his potential availability in Week 5, as the Panthers travel to Chicago.
Scott (quadriceps) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Bengals and is expected to play, David Newton of ESPN.com reports. Scott was on the injury report as limited earlier in the week, but he's been cleared to play in what is a revenge game for the veteran safety after he spent 2023 with the Bengals. On top of that, Scott is expected to take over as a starter for Carolina following Jordan Fuller's (hamstring) placement on injured reserve this week. Scott has six tackles (four solo) through three games.
Scott (quadriceps) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports. The 29-year-old was expected to take over Carolina's top strong safety role after Jordan Fuller (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, but it now appears Scott is dealing with an injury of his own. Scott's practice participation Thursday and Friday will provide a better indication of his availability for Week 4, as the Panthers host the Bengals.
