Lands on injured reserve The Panthers placed Scott (hamstring) on injured reserve Saturday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
Impact 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.

Won't play Sunday Scott (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Broncos.
Impact 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 likely 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.

Stays on sidelines Scott (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday.
Impact 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 OK for Week 8. Further clarity on his status for Sunday's game against the Broncos will likely come Thursday or Friday.

Struggling Panthers rule out 6 players for Sunday's game at Washington, 3 others listed as doubtful
The Carolina Panthers are on a three-game losing streak and they have a growing list of injuries to deal with entering Sunday’s game at WashingtonOCTOBER 18 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
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.
Impact 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.

Picks up hamstring injury Scott (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Impact 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.

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.
Impact 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.

Dealing with shoulder issue Scott (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Impact 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.

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.
Impact 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.

Limited Wednesday Scott (quadriceps) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Moves into starting role Scott will be the Panthers' new starting strong safety with Jordan Fuller (hamstring) being placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
Impact Scott played a significant role in the Bengals' secondary last season, and the previous two with the Rams, so he's no stranger to starting. With Fuller guaranteed to miss at least the next four weeks, he should have multiple starts there, and recorded six tackles (four solo) while filling in for Fuller in Week 3 against the Raiders.

During the Bengals' 2023 campaign, Scott tallied 57 total tackles, including one tackle for loss, across 17 outings.
