Close<\/a>David Newton is an NFL reporter at ESPN and covers the Carolina Panthers. Newton began covering Carolina in 1995 and came to ESPN in 2006 as a NASCAR reporter before joining NFL Nation in 2013.<\/p>\n

Carolina Panthers<\/a> second-round pick Nic Scourton<\/a> is week-to-week after suffering a collapsed lung in Thursday’s joint practice against the Texans<\/a> in Houston.<\/p>\n

The edge rusher out of Texas A&M originally was diagnosed with heat-related symptoms following the session. Coach Dave Canales revealed after Saturday’s 20-3 preseason loss to the Texans that the 20-year-old was taken to Memorial Hermann Medical Center in Houston for observations, where it was determined he had suffered a collapsed lung.<\/p>\n

Canales said Scourton spent Thursday night at Memorial Herman, then was driven back to Charlotte, North Carolina, because flying can worsen lung-related issues. He arrived there Saturday morning after being accompanied on the ride by family members and an athletic trainer.<\/p>\n

“It’s really week-to-week with those types of things,” Canales said. “I’ve heard from trainers, from different coaches, where a guy played the next week.<\/p>\n

“So we’ve got to be smart on that one and let you know where we’re at once we get back to Charlotte.”<\/p>\n

Also, Carolina backup quarterback Andy Dalton<\/a> suffered an elbow injury after being hit during a throw Saturday. Canales said the 37-year-old will have imaging Sunday, adding Dalton told him he was fine.<\/p>\n

Starting quarterback Bryce Young<\/a> was 0-for-2 passing in six plays with a sack as Carolina fell to 0-2 in the preseason. Canales said Young and the starters will not play in Thursday’s preseason finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"David NewtonAug 16, 2025, 04:42 PM ET CloseDavid Newton is an NFL reporter at ESPN and covers the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":88406,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-88405","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/88405","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=88405"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/88405\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/88406"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=88405"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=88405"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=88405"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
