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: Makes eight tackles
Scott recorded eight tackles (two solo) in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Falcons.

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: Questionable for Week 9
Scott (groin) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers.

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.

Panthers' Nick Scott: Inactive Sunday
Scott (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
The safety was activated from injured reserve Friday, but he will now miss his seventh straight game. Scott played a third safety role alongside Xavier Woods and Jordan Fuller when he was healthy, recording 28 tackles (15 solo) and two pass breakups in seven contests. Demani Richardson, Lonnie Johnson and Sam Franklin are the next available safeties with Scott out.

Panthers' Nick Scott: Officially questionable for Week 15
Scott (hamstring), who currently remains on IR, is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Scott managed another full practice Friday, which bodes well for his chances of retaking the field Sunday versus Dallas. In order to play Week 15, though, the Panthers will have to officially activate Scott from IR to the 53-man roster by Saturday afternoon.

Panthers' Nick Scott: Activated from injured reserve
The Panthers activated Scott (hamstring) from injured reserve Friday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Scott is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Cowboys, but this would seem to pave the way for him to play. The veteran safety has missed the last six games. If active for Sunday, expect him to slide back in as the third safety alongside Xavier Woods and Jordan Fuller.

Panthers' Nick Scott: Won't be activated off IR
Scott (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Eagles, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
Scott practiced in full Wednesday and Thursday, but he was listed as a DNP in Friday's session due to his hamstring injury and a personal matter. It appears he hasn't progressed enough in his recovery to return for Week 14, and his next opportunity to play will be Week 15 against the Cowboys on Sunday, Dec. 15.
