Carolina Panthers General Manager Dan Morgan discusses the team's recent growth, including a playoff berth and strategic draft and free agency moves. Key actions include retaining the 2025 eighth draft pick to select Tetairoa McMillan and signing Jaelan Phillips and Devin Lloyd to address defensive needs.

Carolina Panthers linebacker Nic Scourton tore his ACL on the first day of training camp, likely missing the season. Scourton, a second-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, started eight games as a rookie with 47 tackles and five sacks. The Panthers also face injuries to Jacyee Horn and Taylor Moton, impacting their defense.

Horn sustained a foot injury requiring stitches and is expected to return early in camp, while Moton will miss an indefinite period due to a blood clot in his lung but is projected to return during the season. The team signed veteran tackle Rasheed Walker and drafted first-round tackle Monroe Freeling.
