Panthers agree to terms with OLB Cam Gill after Nic Scourton’s injury - NBC Sports

What the report says

NBCSports.com’s Pro Football Talk reported that the Carolina Panthers moved quickly to add outside linebacker depth after Nic Scourton injured his right knee during the team’s first training camp practice on Thursday. The report, published July 23, 2026, said Carolina agreed to terms with Cam Gill, citing Fox Sports’ Greg Auman.

Gill, 28, is a familiar player for the Panthers. NBCSports.com reported that he appeared in 10 games for Carolina in 2024 and finished that stint with 22 tackles and four quarterback hits. He has also played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and his NFL regular-season career totals include 50 games, 51 tackles and 2.5 sacks.

The move follows Gill’s standout run in spring football. According to the NBCSports.com account, Gill most recently played for the United Football League’s Louisville Kings, where he led the league with 11 sacks in 10 games and was named the UFL’s 2026 Defensive Player of the Year.

The signing matters because training camp injuries can quickly affect roster planning, especially at pass-rushing positions where teams often rotate multiple players. NBCSports.com did not provide a diagnosis, recovery timeline or roster designation for Scourton in the supplied report, so the immediate impact of his knee injury remains unclear pending further team updates.
