The Carolina Panthers defense suffered a major blow earlier this week when linebacker Nic Scourton suffered a season-ending ACL injury on Thursday, the first day of the team’s training camp.
The 21-year-old former second-round pick had a solid rookie season last year, recording 47 tackles, 37 pressures, 26 hurries, five sacks, and a forced fumble, per Pro Football Focus.
But the circumstances surrounding Scourton’s injury have now opened the Panthers up to an investigation by the NFL Players Association, according to multiple reports.
“A team spokesperson said the #Panthers aware of an NFLPA inquiry and they are cooperating with the PA, regarding Thursday’s practice, which saw Nic Scourton sustain an ACL injury,” Mike Kaye of the Charlotte Observer reported .
“Can confirm @nflpa will review video from Panthers' Thursday practice when Nic Scourton tore his ACL to see if team was following no-live contact guidelines during 5 day acclimation pd, according to a union source,” The Athletic’s Joe Person added .
Under the current collective bargaining agreement, teams aren’t allowed to have any live contact for the first five days of training camp, and running and conditioning are the only activities players are allowed to participate in on the field.
If the Panthers are found to have broken the no-live contact protocol — a violation of the NFL’s CBA — they could face punishment from the league in the form of fines for coaches and/or the team, losing future OTA days, and losing future draft picks.
