In case you missed it, Carolina Panthers second year edge rusher and fan favorite Nic Scourton has already been ruled out for the year after suffering a torn ACL last week. Scourton was widely expected to start opposite new free agent Jaelen Phillips and feature as a large piece of the Panthers improving pass rush. Now the Panthers have another large void to fill in their front seven and not a ton of proven talent to fill it with.
This week we are keeping our Reacts question simple for you. We all expect Phillips to lead the team in sacks. Which other edge rusher will have the second most sacks? Your answer could even be Phillips, but if it is then we expect you to sound off in the comments to tell us who you think will lead the team.
