Returning to Carolina Scott and the Panthers have agreed upon a one-year contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Scott struggled in his first season with Carolina after signing a one-year deal last March, logging 30 tackles -- his fewest since 2020 -- and two defensed passes over 10 games. Part of the reason for his reduced numbers was injuries, as the Penn State product dealt with multiple issues that collectively caused him to miss seven games. Scott made four starts early in the campaign for the Panthers last year, but he finished the campaign playing exclusively on special teams. With Carolina's signing of Tre'von Moehrig in early March, Scott figures to serve as depth at safety next season while reprising his role as a core special-teamer.

Struggles in Carolina Scott recorded 30 total tackles and two passes defended across 10 games in 2024.

Impact Scott inked a one-year, $1.3 million deal with the Panthers this past offseason after posting 57 total tackles in 17 games with the Bengals in 2023. The 29-year-old endured a tough season in Carolina, dealing with hamstring, quadriceps and shoulder injuries that limited him to 10 appearances. Primarily serving as one of the Panthers' top reserve safeties, he started just four games in place of the injured Jordan Fuller. Scott tallied 22 total tackles and one pass defended during those four starts, while contributing almost exclusively on special teams in his other appearances. The Penn State product is now set to hit unrestricted free agency and will likely be forced to sign another one-year prove-it deal after an underwhelming 2024 campaign.

Past hamstring issue Scott (hamstring) was left off the Panthers' injury report Wednesday.

Impact Scott was inactive for the Panthers' Week 15 loss to the Cowboys despite being activated from injured reserve Friday. He's missed Carolina's last seven games due to a hamstring injury sustained in a Week 7 loss to the Commanders, but his omission from Wednesday's injury report suggests he's now recovered from the issue. With Scott back at full health, he's expected to serve as the Panthers' top reserve safety in the Week 16 matchup against the Cardinals.

Inactive Sunday Scott (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact The safety was activated from injured reserve Friday, but he will now miss his seventh straight game. Scott played a third safety role alongside Xavier Woods and Jordan Fuller when he was healthy, recording 28 tackles (15 solo) and two pass breakups in seven contests. Demani Richardson, Lonnie Johnson and Sam Franklin are the next available safeties with Scott out.

DECEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Activated from injured reserve The Panthers activated Scott (hamstring) from injured reserve Friday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Impact Scott is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Cowboys, but this would seem to pave the way for him to play. The veteran safety has missed the last six games. If active for Sunday, expect him to slide back in as the third safety alongside Xavier Woods and Jordan Fuller.

DECEMBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Officially questionable for Week 15 Scott (hamstring), who currently remains IR, is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Impact Scott managed another full practice Friday, which bodes well for his chances of retaking the field Sunday versus Dallas. In order to play Week 15, though, the Panthers will have to officially activate Scott from IR to the 53-man roster by Saturday afternoon.

Panthers lose rookie RB Jonathon Brooks for the season to a torn ACL; same knee he injured at Texas

The Carolina Panthers have lost rookie running back Jonathon Brooks for the remainder of the season to a torn ACL in his right knee just three games into his return to the field

DECEMBER 9, 2024 • Associated Press

Won't be activated off IR Scott (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Eagles, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Scott practiced in full Wednesday and Thursday, but he was listed as a DNP in Friday's session due to his hamstring injury and a personal matter. It appears he hasn't progressed enough in his recovery to return for Week 14, and his next opportunity to play will be Week 15 against the Cowboys on Sunday, Dec. 15. Scott will be sidelined for an eighth straight game due to a hamstring injury.

DECEMBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Week 14 Scott (hamstring/personal) did not practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Sheena Quick of Fox Sports Radio 1340 reports.

Impact Scott opened the week with consecutive full practices, so Friday's absence was more likely due to a personal matter rather than an aggravation of his hamstring injury. Scott has been sidelined for the Panthers' last five games due to his hamstring injury, but it appears he is on track to play in Week 14, though he'll need to be activated off injured reserve first. In the seven games prior to his injury, Scott logged 28 tackles (15 solo) and two pass defenses.

DECEMBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Week 13 Scott (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Sheena Quick of Fox Sports Radio 1340 reports.

Impact Despite logging a full practice Friday, Scott will remain on injured reserve and miss his fifth straight game due to a hamstring injury. Given his ability to practice in full, Scott has a good chance to return for the Panthers' Week 14 clash against the Eagles on Sunday, Dec. 8.

DECEMBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Could return Sunday Scott (hamstring) is questionable to suit up in Sunday's Week 13 battle against the Buccaneers.

Impact Scott was placed on injured reserve Oct. 26 and has since missed the required four games. He was designated to return to practice Wednesday and began the week with a pair of limited practices before logging a full session Friday. If Scott is to return to action Sunday, the Panthers will need to officially activate him by 4:00 PM ET on Saturday.

NOVEMBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Gets clearance to practice again Carolina designated Scott (hamstring) for return to practice from its injured reserve list Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Scott has spent Carolina's last four games on injured reserve due to a lingering hamstring issue, but it now appears he could be on track to return soon. The Panthers will have 21 days to officially activate him before they'd be required to place him back on injured reserve for the rest of the season.

Lands on injured reserve The Panthers placed Scott (hamstring) on injured reserve Saturday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Impact Scott will have to sit out at least Carolina's next four games as he works his way back from a hamstring injury sustained Week 7 versus Washington. With Jordan Fuller (hamstring) not yet ready to come off IR and Jammie Robinson (knee) ruled out for Week 8, the Panthers' safety corps will be deeply depleted versus Denver on Sunday.

OCTOBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Sunday Scott (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Broncos.

Impact Scott played through his hamstring issue in the Panthers' Week 7 loss to the Commanders, recording six total tackles across 68 total snaps (63 defensive and five on special teams). However, it appears he likely worsened his injury last week, as he was unable to practice all week and has now been ruled out for Sunday's contest. Expect Lonnie Johnson and Demani Richardson to see increased work in Carolina's secondary in Scott's stead.

OCTOBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Stays on sidelines Scott (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday.

Impact Scott played through the injury in Week 7's loss to the Commanders, so unless he aggravated the injury despite playing 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps, he'll likely be OK for Week 8. Further clarity on his status for Sunday's game against the Broncos will likely come Thursday or Friday.
