Scott (ribs) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns.
Scott was a DNP all week due to a rib injury he sustained in Carolina's Week 2 win over Atlanta. In his absence, Lathan Ransom and rookie fifth-rounder Zakee Wheatley are the top candidates to start at safety next to Tre'von Moehrig. Scott's next chance to play is Week 4 against Detroit on Sunday, Oct. 4.
