Panthers' Nick Scott: Lands on injured reserve
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.

Panthers' Nick Scott: Won't play 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 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.

Panthers' Nick Scott: Stays on sidelines
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 okay for Week 8. Further clarity on his status for Sunday's game against the Broncos will likely come Thursday or Friday.

Panthers' Nick Scott: Ready to face Washington
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.

Panthers' Nick Scott: Picks up hamstring injury
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.

Panthers' Nick Scott: Ready to suit up vs. Chicago
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.

Panthers' Nick Scott: Dealing with shoulder issue
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.

Panthers' Nick Scott: Cleared to play versus Cincy
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.

Panthers' Nick Scott: Limited Wednesday
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.

Panthers' Nick Scott: Moves into starting role
Scott is likely to take over as a starting safety for the Panthers beginning with Sunday's game against the Bengals after Carolina placed Jordan Fuller (hamstring) on injured reserve Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
Scott played a significant role in the Bengals secondary last season and the two seasons prior to that with the Rams, so he's no stranger to starting. With Fuller guaranteed to miss at least the next four games, Scott will should enjoy a month-long run as a starter. After logging just eight snaps on defense over the first two weeks of the season while Fuller and fellow safety Xavier Woods were healthy, Scott played 34 snaps in the Week 3 win over the Raiders, finishing with six tackles.

Panthers' Nick Scott: Headed to Carolina
The Panthers signed Scott on Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
The veteran safety spent last season with Cincinnati after playing the first four years of his career with the Rams, and he's now headed to Carolina. During the Bengals' 2023 campaign, Scott tallied 57 total tackles, including one tackle for loss, across 17 outings. Carolina has now added two safeties in Scott and Jordan Fuller this offseason, and the former is expected to compete for a depth role in the Panthers' secondary.

Nick Scott: Done in Cincy after one year
Scott will be released by the Bengals, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Scott signed a three-year contract with the Bengals in the 2023 offseason but lost his starting strong safety role to Jordan Battle during the season. Rather than keep Scott on as a backup, the Bengals have decided to release the former Rams safety with two years left on his deal. After compiling 190 tackles and four interceptions between the Rams and Bengals over the past three seasons, Scott will likely receive some interest as a free agent.

Bengals' Nick Scott: Finishes 2023 in depth role
Scott racked up 57 tackles (35 solo) and one fumble recovery across 17 regular-season appearances with the Bengals in 2023.
Scott began the first season of his three-year contract with Cincinnati in a starting role, but by Week 11 he was clearly replaced by 2023 third-round pick Jordan Battle at strong safety. The Bengals have a potential 'out' in Scott's contract for only $2 million in dead money this offseason, so it wouldn't be surprising if he ends up having to search for a role elsewhere.

Bengals' Nick Scott: Losing playing time
Scott played only eight defensive snaps in Sunday's win over the Colts.
Scott signed a three-year contract as a free agent this offseason, but he has given way to Jordan Battle at strong safety for the past four games.
