Panthers' Nick Scott: Career year in 2025
Scott recorded 111 total tackles (64 solo) and three passes defensed, including one interception, across 17 regular-season games in 2025.
The veteran safety was an integral part of the Panthers' defensive success this season, tallying a career-high 111 stops, the second-most on the team. Scott also played a career-high 1,035 defensive snaps while starting all 17 of Carolina's regular-season contests. He signed a one-year deal to remain with the Panthers last offseason and will likely receive a significant pay increase wherever he lands following Carolina's 2025 playoff run.

Panthers' Nick Scott: Reaches double-digit stops Week 15
Scott totaled 10 tackles (six solo) Sunday in a loss to New Orleans.
Scott was the Panthers' leading tackler in the disappointing loss. The veteran safety has been quite productive of late, tallying at least eight tackles in each of his past four games. Scott's 10 stops Sunday pushed his season tally to 85 through 14 contests, putting him one shy of his career-best regular-season mark of 86, which he set in 2022 with the Rams.

Panthers' Nick Scott: Dominant vs. Rams
Scott totaled nine tackles (five solo) and an interception during Carolina's win over the Rams on Sunday.
Scott played every defensive snap for the Panthers and recorded the second-most tackles on the team behind Lathan Ransom's 11 (two solo). Scott also snagged his first interception of the season, picking off Matthew Stafford in the end zone during the first half. The 30-year-old will look to build on this strong performance once the team returns from its upcoming bye week.

Panthers' Nick Scott: Good to go vs. Green Bay
Scott (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Packers, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Panthers' Nick Scott: Records limited practice Thursday
Scott (groin) was a limited practice participant Thursday.
After Scott missed practice entirely Wednesday, his limited participation Thursday was a step in the right direction. The veteran safety may need to log a full session Friday, however, to avoid entering the weekend with an injury designation. Scott has started every game for the Panthers so far this season.

Panthers' Nick Scott: Tending to groin injury
Scott did not participate in Wednesday's practice due to a groin injury.
Scott recorded a season-high eight tackles (five solo) during the Panthers' Week 8 loss to the Bills while playing 62 of 63 defensive snaps. He likely sustained his groin injury at some point during the Week 8 loss, but he'll have two more opportunities to return to practice and avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Packers.

Panthers' Nick Scott: Second-leading tackler in loss
Scott tallied eight total tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 40-9 loss to the Bills.
The veteran safety from Penn State had his most productive game of the season in the Week 8 loss, finishing with the second-most tackles on Carolina's defense. Scott has now started all eight of the Panthers' games thus far, recording 41 total tackles and two passes defended. He's expected to continue starting alongside Tre'von Moehrig in Carolina's secondary heading into the Week 9 matchup against the Packers.

Panthers' Nick Scott: Returning to Carolina
Scott and the Panthers have agreed upon a one-year contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Scott struggled in his first season with Carolina after signing a one-year deal last March, logging 30 tackles -- his fewest since 2020 -- and two defensed passes over 10 games. Part of the reason for his reduced numbers was injuries, as the Penn State product dealt with multiple issues that collectively caused him to miss seven games. Scott made four starts early in the campaign for the Panthers last year, but he finished the campaign playing exclusively on special teams. With Carolina's signing of Tre'von Moehrig in early March, Scott figures to serve as depth at safety this season while reprising his role as a core special-teamer.

Panthers' Nick Scott: Struggles in Carolina
Scott recorded 30 total tackles and two passes defended across 10 games in 2024.
Scott inked a one-year, $1.3 million deal with the Panthers this past offseason after posting 57 total tackles in 17 games with the Bengals in 2023. The 29-year-old endured a tough season in Carolina, dealing with hamstring, quadriceps and shoulder injuries that limited him to 10 appearances. Primarily serving as one of the Panthers' top reserve safeties, he started just four games in place of the injured Jordan Fuller. Scott tallied 22 total tackles and one pass defended during those four starts, while contributing almost exclusively on special teams in his other appearances. The Penn State product is now set to hit unrestricted free agency and will likely be forced to sign another one-year prove-it deal after an underwhelming 2024 campaign.

Panthers' Nick Scott: Past hamstring issue
Scott (hamstring) was left off the Panthers' injury report Wednesday.
Scott was inactive for the Panthers' Week 15 loss to the Cowboys despite being activated from injured reserve Friday. He's missed Carolina's last seven games due to a hamstring injury sustained in a Week 7 loss to the Commanders, but his omission from Wednesday's injury report suggests he's now recovered from the issue. With Scott back at full health, he's expected to serve as the Panthers' top reserve safety in the Week 16 matchup against the Cardinals.
