Not even a week into camp and the Panthers have lost two exciting youth players to injury for the season: WR Chris Braz Via @FieldYates on X

What happened: Chris Brazzell II will undergo surgery on a torn LCL after injuring his knee during Wednesday’s practice. Nic Scourton tore his right ACL on July 23 and was placed on injured reserve.

Why it matters: Carolina must replace a rookie receiver and a second-year edge before preseason play begins. Brazzell’s absence wipes out his debut season, while Scourton leaves a full-season gap in the pass-rush rotation.

By the numbers: Brazzell was selected No. 83 overall in April; Scourton’s injury occurred on the first day of camp.

What to watch: Carolina’s roster moves and revised rotations at receiver and edge will come into focus through the remainder of camp.
