Martin-Scott (hamstring) did not play in Friday's preseason finale against the Texans, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Martin-Scott was held out of the game due to a new hamstring injury. The second-year undrafted free agent out of South Carolina is set to be a key piece of the Panthers' linebacker depth throughout the 2026 season. If Martin-Scott's injury persists into the regular season, Claudin Cherelus could see an increased number of snaps for the defense.
