## Resource

Panthers’ star edge rusher Nic Scourton is facing a potential season-ending ACL tear, a devastating blow to a defense already struggling to find answers. At just 21, Scourton was seen as a franchise-changing talent with elite upside, and his absence leaves a massive void. The team is turning to internal options like Pat Jones and Princely Umanmielen — both of whom have injury histories and modest track records — while also eyeing free agency or the waiver wire. With Scourton sidelined, the Panthers will need a committee effort to fill his role, and the pressure is on Jones to step up and deliver a breakout year. Despite this setback, Scourton’s young age and talent suggest his long-term future remains bright. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
