Overview
- The Panthers announced the signing of outside linebacker Cam Gill to add immediate edge-rush depth after Scourton’s knee injury left a roster hole.
- Second-year pass rusher Nic Scourton suffered a torn ACL during the opening training-camp session and was placed on injured reserve, which accelerated Carolina’s need for reinforcements.
- Gill starred in the UFL this spring, leading the league with 11.0 sacks, earning Defensive Player of the Year honors, and helping the Louisville Kings win the United Bowl.
- Gill began his NFL career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, earned a Super Bowl LV ring, and played for the Panthers in 2024; Carolina also signed rookie offensive tackle Derrell Bailey to bolster line depth.
- Greg Auman of FOX Sports first reported Gill’s addition and the Panthers say they will continue evaluating internal and external options as training camp progresses.
