Carolina Panthers outside linebacker Nic Scourton left the field on a cart after suffering an apparent right knee injury on Thursday, the first day of training camp.

An MRI was scheduled for later in the afternoon to determine the extent of the injury.

Reporters described it as an emotional scene as Scourton, 21, was in tears as the cart pulled away from the field. Before the cart departed, the entire team and head coach Dave Canales had a moment with him.

Practice was halted for the day.

In just his second season, Scourton was penciled in to start on the opposite side of Jaelan Phillips, acquired as a free agent in the offseason. As a rookie, Scourton appeared in 17 games (eight starts) and tallied 47 tackles (seven for loss), five sacks and a forced fumble.

Veteran Patrick Jones II and Princely Umanmielen, in his second season, could see game time in his absence.

The Panthers selected Scourton in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft.

Free agent wide receiver Tyreek Hill still has “no power” in his surgically repaired left leg, 10 months after undergoing two operations.

The eight-time Pro Bowler and five-time first-team All-Pro selection posted a workout video on YouTube on Wednesday night, updating his recovery from a dislocated left knee and torn ACL sustained in late September last season.

“My left leg is the one that I injured,” said Hill, 32. “I have no power in my left leg, so I’m trying to regain all the power back in my left leg. But it’s one day at a time.”

Hill, who said doctors told him he “might not be able to walk again” after the injury, is seen running and performing a variety of exercises in the video.

With NFL teams starting to report to training camp this week, Hill did not say when he will be ready to get back on the field.

“I ain’t going to tell you what my timeline is, but timeline looking real good right now, man,” Hill said.

The Miami Dolphins released Hill on Feb. 16 in a cost-cutting move after four seasons with the team, making him a free agent for the first time in his career.

Hill caught 21 passes for 265 yards and one touchdown in four games in 2025 before the injury. He has 819 catches for 11,363 yards and 83 TDs in 145 career games for the Kansas City Chiefs (2016-21) and Dolphins (2022-25).

FC Dallas signed 15-year-old U.S. forward Benji Flowers to a first-team deal and agreed to a future transfer to Chelsea FC when he turns 18, The Athletic reported Thursday.

Dallas will receive an initial fee of about $3 million from the Premier League side and up to an additional $7 million in performance-based add-ons, per the report. Triggers for the incentives include how many minutes he plays for Dallas as well as milestones with the U.S. youth national team. Dallas also will retain a sell-on clause, The Athletic reported.

Flowers recently traveled to London to complete the Chelsea portion of the deal, per the report.

Last month, Flowers was named to the MLS NEXT All-Star Game. The FC Dallas Academy product made his debut with North Texas SC on March 21 at 14 years, 11 months and seven days, making him the second-youngest player in that club’s history.

The Columbus Blue Jackets re-signed goaltender Jet Greaves to a three-year, $15 million deal Thursday and avoided a salary arbitration hearing.

Greaves, 25, filed for arbitration prior to the NHL’s July 5 deadline and had been scheduled for a hearing on Thursday in Toronto.

“Jet is a high-character, talented and athletic goaltender who has become an important part of our hockey club,” general manager and president of hockey operations Don Waddell said. “Our intent always was to get a deal done to ensure he remains a Blue Jacket and we are thrilled that we were able to do so.”

Greaves finished 26-19-9 with two shutouts, a 2.60 goals-against average and a .908 save percentage in 55 games in his first full season in 2025-26.

He is 36-28-11 with four shutouts, a 2.61 GAA and a .913 save percentage in 76 games since making his NHL debut with Columbus in April 2023.
